Ever since I can remember, I've always had a problem with "zoning out" when someone talks to me. That is, my mind just kind of drifts somewhere else and I "lose the details" of what the person is telling me and I end up just going into "nod nod nod" mode. Instead of listening, I'm coming up with the plot details of my next book or something.

I think I read that this is an INTJ trait(?). Why the hell is that? I've gotten a little better at it over the years, but I really have to make a conscious effort to keep my mind from wandering. You all get that too?

This has been covered already in the following thread: Thought Comas.

I hope you find it helpful.

Thanks... didn't mean to post a duplicate topic. Will hop over to that one.

I would say it is a sign of 'stop daydreaming and pay f£"^*(g attention'. Ah such fun.

I try--- but sometimes listening to the latest trials and tribulations of Angelina and Brad just makes me yearn for a sudden affliction of spontaneous human combustion.
