Confident
A thread specifically for those moments we all have where we dissociate, or are simply being absent minded. (not sure if those are the same thing...).
You know you've been dissociating / absent minded when...
...you cant remember what you said a minute ago.
...you cant remember what someone else said a minute ago.
...you know what the conversation is about, but it doesn't fully register and you still have to ask what the conversation is about.
...you manage to confuse everyone in the conversation, including yourself, in doing so.
...you place an object somewhere, and immediately start looking for it elsewhere.
...you swear up and down that sound was a kitten! Now your neighbors are looking confused at you when you try to pick up and pet a really squeaky door.
...you have no idea what your friend is talking about when they say you were acting like someone else.
...you realize this is apparently not a one time problem.
...you place an empty milk jug in the sink and promtly walk away to go smoke a cigarette, and you dont remember doing so.
...you tell your friend to hold their thoughts because you need to find your phone, and they remind you that you're talking on it.
...you reply to a forum what someone asked you in a text message.
