Re: Zoning Out

[Anonymous]

I zone out, sometimes when I focus on doing something, my attention seems to shut off. It’s like running on automatic.

When it became increasingly difficult to work in any sort of office system, I did a stint as Court Reporter, the tapes recorded the

examinations and if I zoned out it was rarely noticed. But it was so boring, unchallenging that I couldn’t stay at it for long.

There is a need for constant stimulation to somehow feel “comfortable”. But I have dozens of things started and often forget

where I left them or why or even what I was doing … notes are great, but I don’t always see them. Oddly, I was lucky in university

and was so completely engrossed in studies that I did well … only to graduate and find there was no demand for specialists in literary criticlal analysis. I lose track of what people are saying when they talk to me, sometimes my impulsiveness has me responding way too

frankly to what was meant to be “social chat” .. really can’t do small talk, I don’t understand how it is meant to work at all.
