Why Do People Replay Past Conversations in Their Heads?

[Lolita]

It’s common to revisit what we said or didn’t say, sometimes long after the moment has passed. What drives this habit? Is it self-reflection or overthinking? Do you find it helpful, or does it usually create unnecessary stress?

 

[Nomad]

people are the creatures of the past, that's why they brood on the past events and even communications, more than the present.
