playing out predicted dialog trees in ur head instead of just actually talking to people is one of the worst things u can do for ur relationships and mental health

stop modeling start interacting

u *don't* actually know what people are gonna say or what they want, and trying to perfectly engineer ur desired outcome is gonna cause u massive neurosis, be basically impossible, and is actually kinda dehumanizing to them

ofc don't take this too far, it's still ofc good to think before u speak on a basic level n consider people's feelings etc
