You basically just described my life most of the time, except when I do the freezing thing in class, teachers get really angry because they just think I'm ignoring them, when judging by my grades, I should be able to do it instantly.
I also say really irrelevant things in conversations, when I'm bored. Or I lecture people on my interests: My friends and others really don't appreciate me explaining Kepler's second law of planetary motion at every random interval, nor banging on about the life of Leon Trotsky... (Two of my major obsessions)
Is suppose the difference is that my random outbursts and 'zoning out' just make people frustrated, rather than thinking I'm unintelligent, because I have a reputation as a nerd.
Anyone else feel they are in the same boat as me?
