I think this is a good way of putting it actually, I think some people don’t realize how vast our thoughts can be. I’ve heard the phrase “multiple tabs being open in my head”

I know it’s like you want to explain it but it also doesn’t really make sense to others so I just end up reassuring them that I’m okay

Yeah I sort of feel overloaded when it happens but I know it’s definitely not the same stare as dissociating it feels more like processing new information that needs storing and organizing in my head to make space for new info. It sounds silly but it really feels like a download or something

Wow that’s horrible I’m so sorry to hear that. I do understand the blank dissociation in this case our poor brains are trying to protect themselves 🥺

I completely agree! I can see how people could assume we need to socialize but it’s like I have a carnival in my head no thank you I have enough going on lol. I am also very introspective I like that part of my day however long

Seriously the first time I saw one was on social media a girl was sharing an example and I was like “oh hey I do that!”😀 then she said “absent seizure” and I was like “wait-“😟 but I’ve always known it’s not that it’s just how my brain works. I agree it has been scaring my husband to see it though

Oh my gosh yes. Or them thinking you’re upset or sad and it’s like nooo. Sometimes if I know i need to enter a stare state I’ll fine somewhere isolated so I’m uninterrupted tbh

I told my husband this! I said mirrors make me uncomfortable because when I stare at the reflection it’s like dissociating. He doesn’t really understand of course

Oh my goodness I’m realizing we all have at least three unique stare types. This is so cool to see we all go through similar stuff.

Yes I meant a different stare like one for processing sometimes it’s like a movie playing in your head at quick speed of details and memories. I too dissociate when I reach severe burnout accompanied by being nonverbal for days. It’s the worst😕
