Yep.Totally normal

Yes—having imaginary conversations in your head is very normal. People use them to rehearse what they might say, replay a moment, or simply let their minds wander.

Lots of people mentally practice a conversation before it happens, come up with a better reply afterward, or imagine a chat just for fun. It’s a pretty ordinary way to sort through thoughts and feelings, even if the conversation is with someone who isn’t there.
