Zoning out of conversations is the worst…
…and it doesn’t even depend on the topic being interesting or not.
Me reading each. word. at. a. time. aloud. not. understanding. how. they. go. together.
… “How they go together” What the fuck does that mean?!
And while reading like this spends the whole time thinking about why am I like this, why do I need to read so slowly to understand, why does my mind wander off, wait it’s doing right now isn’t it and I’ve missed this whole page haven’t I? Yes, start again.
I zone out when playing video games.

1/2 way through the third read “I already read that” skips a few lines… wait what? Goes back but you lost where you were before…
Side note on the phone I turn text to speech at a low volume and high speed and read along.
I record all meeting calls (and delete later) for this reason. Easier to go along with it and not sweat the small stuff, then fix it in post.
