It sounds like you're confident in your interactions. While being present, writers also tend to see "the story" in a situation and, as you say, rehearse responses. I'm wondering if your statement that you "imagine conversations" feeds your writing, both analytical and creative.

I don't imagine or rehearse conversations I might have, but if someone is silent (spousal unit perhaps), I might supply both sides of the conversation. (I think I'm kidding, but I might not be.)
