vy that I mean my internal thoughts and voice are louder to me than outside voices because I think all the time. I don't think it's a problem but some one has to be practically in my face to break me out of my thoughts lol.
I used to be just like that. It subsided once I could make my own life choices and especially when started to take responsibility for my choices and my environment.
I see it like that: If you are stuck in a grocery line, it's normal for your mind to drift away. If you have a toxic family or feel stuck in a place (like a school where you don't learn anything or a job where you only pretend to work) your entire life feels like waiting in a grocery line. Forever.
It's a psychological defense mechanism against boredom and abuse. It's healthy in a grocery line and other environments where you have no control. In adulthood however it's not healthy if you constantly think about things you could've said or always dream of success while your life goes nowhere.
Such a good analogy! Thank you. You are absolutely right on!
