Sometimes the most mundane of circumstances will trigger a rumination fit where I end up going through recycled arguments that I repeat constantly in my head. It could be a friend mentioning what he did with his girlfriend the other day or a woman complaining about how "difficult" dating is for her and out of nowhere I'll just subconsciously and automatically start to vent the same old fatalistic beliefs to myself in my head, pretty much involuntarily. It really is cognitively and emotionally draining!
