Am I losing the plot

I have what I think of as an inner monologue but I think of these as the 'critical me' as it is always telling me what I am doing wrong.  I am always second-guessing myself. and running through alternate scenarios.  I have no issue with this as ultimately it is reassuring. as it prepares me for events that may happen.

I am concerned about my very active imagination. I get so involved in what I imagine in my head that I speak my part out loud in these imaginings.  I am very clear that these scenarios are not real, but at times I am unaware that I am speaking aloud and it looks like I am conversing with myself.

Does this happen to anyone else?
