As a kid I used to get to school and mysteriously not have my lunchbox – I forgot it was in my hand and just dropped it on the ground along the way. This happened quite a few times! I definitely will start thinking/talking about something and lose consciousness of everything else – miss my exit on the freeway, miss my stop on the train, trip & fall, fail to realize I’m boring the other person to death… 😆
I do think there may be 2 different things being described, though – because I also just stand there when I’m supposed to be picking out which kind of cheese to buy, and just zone out on nothing! It’s like, I get exhausted with trying to make a decision and my mind just checks out for a minute or two – taking a rest?? Anyway, people sure do look at me funny sometimes when that happens… As far as I know, I don’t get distracted or hyperfocus on anything, I just go into a meditative type state… weird!
