I do journal too for my own sanity. It really helps when you're not a person capable of express your emotions openly. Chatting with my future self, allows me to assume that most of my worries are lame and realize how those are compromising my behavior. Also, I do now understand that people around me do speak out their own troubles in the conversations that bored me in the past...

Yes, this! I don’t mean to make light of people’s conversations whatsoever but in my experience sometimes a good conversation is simply a back and forth friendly and unbiased exploration of a worry or struggle, future or past. The ideal outcome is not figuring out the next 5 steps - or even coming away with any sort of conclusion about whether it should be solved. It simply provides space to voice aloud thoughts, theorize, and empathize with the other(s).
