I have imaginary conversations with real people all the time.

Planning, preparing, trying to practice my social skills. It's actually quite staggering the amount of fake conversations I've had. They far outway the actual ones. And they also go a lot more smoothly. :)

I'm not sure if they actually help though.

I don't seem to be able to actually get around to talking about anything I've worked out, so I'm left wondering what the point is?

I really have a much too active fantasy life.
