Adjacent to this is either A) info dumping and feeling the other person start zoning out, or (possibly worse) B) info dumping and feeling yourself start zoning out mid-sentence.
Do you actually feel it? I don’t feel it at all. Just at some point I am like “oh fuck, I didn’t listen to what they were saying”. And I cannot even remember what I was thinking
please don’t let them ask a relatated question…
I catch myself sometimes half way through someone talking about something where I was fully paying attention for the first bit of them talking and then tuning back in for the end realizing “oh fuck” but it’s the same. My mind just wanders idk even know to what. There are times though where someone asks me a follow up question and I realize I wasn’t paying attention at all beyond the start of them talking.
Yes, it’s usually not like I never listened, I just disconnect at some point
