Is there a name for a feeling that you have explained something to others before or even before it happens? This is hard to explain in itself but I get this feeling several times a week when I am doing something that I have clearly done it and explained it already to someone else. For some reason it feels like "reporting back" and the people/person I reported it back to is not an enemy or in a position over me they/he (?) just wants to know the things I do. It's sometimes reporting something I would not divulge to others but not necessarily shameful. An quick example would be going to purchase something as a gift for someone and as I approach the item in the store I have a super clear memory that I had explained buying it and why I bought it to someone in the past. A thought will come into my head of the memory of reporting it "I got this for him because I knew he liked toy cars". When I get these I have tried to focus on who I am speaking to but within the memory it's almost like I am in a stupor and reporting to someone I can't see. This feeling is clearly a conversation that happened in the past though. Like I am experiencing something I already did and reported back. Often it's something where I have reported back something secret or quasi-shameful that I would not tell others. The memory of reporting it back to someone in the past is so real to me though. It's a form of deja vu I would think but there is something else there.
