Conflict Scenarios in my head

Not sure if this is the right place to post, but it's a start. I've recently noticed uncontrollable thoughts popping in my head and it's happening more and more. It seems that whenever I plan on interacting with someone or going somewhere, I'm coming up with conflict scenarios and running through the dialogue in my head. Half the time, I don't even think I realize that I'm doing it. But, I've caught myself doing it more and more. I'm not an angry person & I'd say I'm pretty good at communication. I don't understand why I'm fixating on conflict. Could this be a problem? Just a sign of stress? The scenarios are oddly detailed and often, worst-case scenario. I've noticed the only people that seem exempt from these thoughts are my family and close friends.
This is totally new to me. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Claire

I've had the same -by conflict I guess you mean (worst case scenario) like the movie PSYCHO where the man hits his mother behind her back with something.

don't worry about it,or try to explain it-

It probably is like subtle negative,yet invisible influences trying to create havoc within your stream of consciousness,SIMPLY WATCH THEM,DON'T REACT TO THEM IN ANY WAY-WATCH THEM MOVE PAST YOU-as if you were standing in a shallow river and the drift wood bumps you and moves away.

Thanks, Neighbor. I've never seen PSYCHO, so I can't honestly say.

By worst-case-scenario, I don't mean my reaction, but others. Basically, I go through a dialogue in my head of people getting angry at me, disrespecting me, etc. and how I'll react. While I'm definitely not acting on any of the thoughts (since the scenarios never even happen), they just won't stop and are getting on my nerves. I don't know why I'm suddenly expecting and thinking about the worst...and playing these scenes out in my head. It could be before I go to a store, call someone, etc. They're all completely random and usually involve tasks that don't ever have conflict involved. I'd say it's been going on for a few weeks now. I just don't know what triggered it and what to do.

Thank you!

first of all you say :
"I don't mean my reaction, but others" then you say
" etc. and how I'll react." THIS CONTRADICTS ITSELF.
It is obvious from your first post the scenarios are in the mind-THAT WAS YOUR MAIN POINT--then you say:
"they just won't stop and are getting on my nerves. I don't know why I'm suddenly expecting and thinking about the worst...and playing these scenes out in my head."this was clearly answered in my first reply:
"It probably is like subtle negative,yet invisible influences trying to create havoc within your stream of consciousness" If this means nothing to you then you should expand and investigate that answer of mine.It is clear & to the point.answering the first reply obviously took more then 15 minutes-though people look at images and text on the net merely a few seconds-and if it doesn't "GRAB" them they "OVERLOOK"----here I say ponder the Idea above,of course I could be speaking to a person in there early 20's-my answer then would be meaningless as they are in a totally different frame of mind then a 40 year old.

when you say:"They're all completely random"----that IS THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS-it works this way-it is not a sickness-you are merely more aware then another-or simply are more prone to negative influences.YOU ARE NOT BAD,you might be OPENED TO psychic influences-although the word psychic is pretty stupid-- I use negative influences---believe it or not this could be caused by watching the tv news each day-BELIEVE IT OR
NOT(dr and author Bruce Goldberg) would attest to this.

you say:
"I just don't know what triggered it and what to do. "
I answered in the first reply:
SIMPLY WATCH THEM,DON'T REACT TO THEM IN ANY WAY-WATCH THEM MOVE PAST YOU-as if you were standing in a shallow river and the drift wood bumps you and moves away.
----this was not hogwash as it probably appeared to you--it is based on Indian wisdom-called PRATYAHARA--their is no words or magic wand here--no forum will cure that situation-but an effort from YOUR ATTENTION:(consciousness)
