I am incredibly distracted. Even when I am "focusing" I have no idea what I'm doing, I'll do something on the contrary. Idk it's a mess. Like right now, should be doing something for work but I'm not as you can see. is it normal also doesn't help lol. I like venting and I just go straight to this website and start venting then I go back to work. But it's not too long til I'm back on here. Also, when it comes to socializing or dealing with daily tasks, I'm also really slow or it takes a while for me to focus. It's like I'm in my own world and I need to to get it together and bring myself out of my head and into this world. But for right now, I'm so inside my head that I just can't focus what's going on in front of me. I'm also not persistent. I wish I can stay committed but I can't. I lose the motivation or something. So I've just been living freely but it's starting to impact my life as I'm getting older.

    Diet can effect your neurological system.

    I've had the repeated issue of setting out to do something, and then finding myself having not even reached the half-way mark after having spent some several hours simply talking to myself. I tend to find it rather difficult to focus on things because I will at first focus, then focus on the act of focusing, then realize how strange the idea of focusing on the act of focusing really is, wonder whether or not other people have done so, attempt to find what author might have had this problem, explain this to my imaginary therapist, write an essay in my head about the phenomenon, become distracted by imaginary conversations, and then realize that four hours have been lost in the process.

      Can totally relate and see myself doing this. What do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking?

        I'm currently studying to become a legal assistant. My work experience has largely consisted up to this point of janitorial duties, bagging papers, and unpaid internships.

    Not normal. But I also have experienced. I have major depressive disorder and am on anti depressants/anxiety medication. I recently lowered my dose and my thoughts have been running wild! I can hardly drive without getting extremely emotional about some petty thing that happened 10 years ago. It's a nightmare.

    I suggest counseling.

    I can sympathise, having experienced similar issues with commitment, motivation, attention-span, procrastination and introspection.

    I also have a chronic punctuality problem which repeatedly damages my ability to actually achieve goals. No idea why I'm so shit at being on time - it's not out of laziness. Nobody has any sympathy for me about this issue :P

    Doesn't sound normal. Probably have some attention issues. Nothing to be ashamed of.
