zone out

does anyone just zone out cause when im out with friends or driving or doing anything for that matter, i tend to just dose off and start thinking about somehting else. this is dangerous i came close to crashing the car like more than a dozen times. i cant control it, i hate it when people will be having a conversation then they ask me something and i wasnt even paying attention. why does this happen? does it happen to anyone else? is there any way i can stop it?

tupac, i'm not sure how to stop it, but it happens to me also..sometimes at work, there is so much chaos around me, people talking to me, i start to feel uncomfortable, then it starts...i kind of turn into a zombie 8O , like i am hearing everything muffled...and it's hard to function...till i snap out of it, or not :roll:

i know what you mean maggie. i used to work at tim hortons and it was so frustrating dealing with customers, plus alot of the workers didnt get along and would always be telling me how much they hated working with such and such. masterpeice i think i figured it out tho. i think that because for so long i've been quiet and keeping to myself that i just start daydreaming. i dont think it would happen if i was being interactive and keeping busy. but its so hard for me to even have a conversation. i'll be thinking of something funny and start laughing and people will be like whats so funny.

I do that aswell,i was in college once about about 6 years ago now,(this is the one that sticks in my head) and the class was quiet, i was thinking to myself about stuff and then i just burst out laughing :lol: eveyone just looked at me and i could say nothing i still cringe everytime i think about it :?

i cant handle it when 2 people are trying to talk to me at once,like you said maggie it all just becomes muffled :roll:

tupac and Scottish...what you guys said about not being able to stop laughing...that's me too :roll: ...like today at work, of course the chaos around me like normal, but then something funny happens, and i continue to laugh long after anyone else, cause i still think it's funny and everyone else has moved on :? ....(it's especially stupid if i am laughing at my own joke :wink: )

Me too! Ditto on everything! Wow...I thought I was being childish, daydreaming constantly.

It's kinda nice.

i agree black_mamba...it's kinda nice to know others feel as i do...although i wouldn't wish how i feel on yous...but you know what i mean...before this site i had completely no idea anyone else felt as i do...and having these feelings and problems, and thinking you are the only one on earth that does, is worse :x ...sometimes at work when i am going through a really rough spot (most every day :evil: ), i think of you guys, and maybe you are having a rough spot too, or maybe you're having a good day, whatever, it gives me some comfort in numbers
