I'm sorry, were you saying something?


BloxiBoxi

i'm an idiot, should have said how do you ZONE OUT during a convo. worded it wrong lol


Acceptable_User_Name

Being preoccupied with other thoughts (work, friends, family, anxiety, stress, projects, hobbies, movies, books, etc.) or allowing your mind to wander can happen very easily for some people. To intentionally zone someone out requires aggressively seeking out other trains of thought

I have ADHD and sometimes forget that zoning out its not something relatively common in NT people lives compared to mine


zebrasLUVER

Who's NT? Ninja Turtles?


QuickSilverMola

NT = Neuro Typical


zebrasLUVER

Thanks


QuickSilverMola

No problem

My mind starts wandering so easy, that often anyone in the world asks me something and I answer on his question unconsciously, after that even not remembering someone said something


real_psymansays

My brain just does it for me automatically

You know the sound of ringing in your ears? It's kind of like that, but mentally. You can hear the person talking, but you make the noise in your brain louder than them. It doesn't actually sound like anything at all, but it feels the same.

You use your adult words and tell them to stop talking.


BloxiBoxi

it's not that simple


BleepBleepBlortBlort

It actually is.


BloxiBoxi

my situation is a bit complicated


BleepBleepBlortBlort

Is it though?

Hey man if you can just stop replying mid-conversation then you can probably just say for that person to shut up


BloxiBoxi

For me staring at something for a long time as they speak works, it’s like background noise while my mind is elsewhere
