Is it normal to want to walk away?

I don't know what it is, it's just that when someone is talking to me- i.e. a teacher, or someone who is talking about something boring and uninteresting that i just want to walk away. Just, say nothing and walk away. I actually listen to what they are saying and sometime I think that this is the problem and I should just zone out for a while and come back later. I just feel like I have to listen to too many boring things already and that I should just rebel.
Is this normal?

    It's kind of normal, but unfortunately it's also uncivilized.
    Plenty of people would probably want to walk away from you in mid-sentence, it sounds like you're kind of full of yourself. Other people have interesting things to say too, you know.

    I suggest black shoes as they don't show dirt easily as you walk. Try some insoles for extra comfert and fart as you wander off.

    Oh yeah, I zone out and don't listen to people all the time. My boyfriend's mom is as sweet as she can be but she rambles like you would not believe and I don't listen at least 60%% of the time. Don't walk away though, that's rude. A big part of life is doing things you don't really want to do, unfortunately.

    It's a normal urge, but try to act with respect in all situations. Being respectful will not only keep the peace, but serve you by making you stand out; not many individuals can pay respectful attention to their "superiors" (teachers, parents, bosses, you know), especially the youth of today.

    If you feel the urge to rebel, do so in other ways than disrespecting people; rebel against shitty high school cultural norms, rebel against popular political opinion (if you disagree), rebel in the way you dress and speak...

    but please, for the sake of humanity, respect and love your fellow man, you know what I mean? The world needs more of that.

    I feel like that a lot. Sometimes I zone out and have to snap back to say 'yeah' to make it look as though i'm listening eyen though I have no idea what they just said.

    Resist walking away because it's more trouble than it's worth haha.
