Whats wrong with a person if they...?(is this never been heard of lol)?

Question

I mean, has anyone ever heard of someone telling people things when they are in a faze in which people would refer to as "not listening"

Where they are temporarily "def". I mean, nothing wrong with their ears, but with their brain. Like can only focus on one thing so they are daydreaming and focusing on that so cant hear anything else unless they take a little focus of their daydreaming. Their family and people around them don't tell them about it. Could this just be an extreme lack of concentration? thanks a load =)

Answer 1

its called "zoneing out". people do it when their just totally concentrated on something else and actually not hear what the person talking to them is saying. i do it sometimes, kinda get in trouble for it too lol

Answer 2

If the person doesn't have an illness I think it happens when someone is telling them something they have before and they just don't know how to help them or are just tired of hearing it ;)

Answer 3

It's common. I do it when employees come to me with the same complaints about each other over and over again. I'll be looking right at them and thinking OK I have to order this throw out that.....

Answer 4

Seems like fatigue mixed with lack of concentration and alot on the persons mind. i think there is something behind why they are "def" in which it is the core why they are like this

Answer 5

There are people like that. They cannot multi-task like when she's writing then you ask her a question, she could not reply because she's concentrating on her work alone. You wait til she finished her work then she'll ask again "what was that about?"

Irritating right?

Just be patient and try to understand those kinda people.

Sometimes it's just their brain working so slow. We cannot help it.

Answer 6

I think you mean day dreaming?

Well I have done this many times and I think it is something we all do sometimes.

If you do it too much then it is a problem.  

Answer 7

thats a load of c**p if thats ur boyfriend ur talking about hes doing that so he can ignore you and doesnt have to liste to u if its not its still an excuse not to listen to anybody. thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard of. dont be stupid. call him out on that BS

Answer 8

This can be a mental disorder in an extreme case, if you repeatedly didnt pay attention to something that is obiously there. Most likely this is normal. Sometimes the brain just go into a fase when you think alot about something, or day dreaming.  

Answer 9

its called selective hearing and its usualy commen to ppl with ADD or ADHD or other such disorders ( i don't know of any others tho) what happens is we get so focoused on what we are paying attenion to we don't notice any thing eles going on around us, its almost as if we can't hear it at all. if you know some one like this the answer is simple......

simply give them a tap on the shoulder to gain there attention then talk. make sure to keep there attenion tho.  I can be looking straight at u on auto pilot saying yeah uhuh or be asked to do something and say ok  then 2 mins later......wait what did you say????

most of us can controll it as adults and learn how to use it. lol it becomes quite handy when i get tired of listening to ppl arguing.
