How can i stop constantly having imaginary conversations in my head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thought dropping: Mind is constantly producing thoughts, so you can't stop that. Also too much effort trying to stop thoughts gives them more energy and stress. But you can choose to not actively engage in thinking, which is different than thoughts just occurring. Practice observing the thoughts and letting them go. In time you'll develop this new habit. Therapy will be helpful if the thinking is obsessive.
