Do you ever get distracted and forget what you're doing?
What things distract you?
Have you ever gotten so distracted that you hurt yourself or others?

I do have a hyper-active mind... so I can get distracted quite easily, as pretty much everything will catch my attention for a longer time than it would be usual, and that is on top of all the thoughts that are constantly storming in my mind

but that's something I've had through all of my life, so I have learned to control it for the most part, while I can get easily distracted and this could happen often I can stop it most of the time

While I was still in the Army was walking down some steps and really nice eye candy 🍭 with very short skirt distracted me, I totally missed the last two steps. I ended up with very bad spring to ankle. The next I had physical training test. To give better support for ankle I wore my combat boots. That taught me to pay attention to what I was doing. Today I look back at it and I laugh

Yeah I do, everything I did to make money before my last job felt like I was not being true to myself, the only thing that ever felt natural to me was the psychology major I abandoned for religious studies but I decided I did not want to be exposed to the secular teachings of psychology so I changed to religion.

In elementary school for my walk to school there was always one block where I would completely zone out and when I would reach the crosswalk I couldn’t remember walking that block at all. Even a few times out of the few hundred I crossed the street before snapping out of it. That street is the busiest in all of downtown and I got worried I might have walked through it without a walk signal. I probably didn’t but I wonder.

I sometimes forget to do chores. I go to do it but get sidetracked and then don't get back to it. Then I go do something else and then my wife sees it didn't get done. She then tells me that she wants me to have a psych eval because I might be losing my mind.

When I was a teen I once ran into a signpost while a pretty girl waved at me. :-D I think I'm better now. Not great but better.

I also fractured my tail bone on a vert ramp when pretty girls came to watch me (I was the only vert skater at the skate park and had the 12-foot vert ramp all to myself). Also tore up my back on a loose nail the same way. I got 50% of my worst injuries being distracted by or showing off to pretty girls.

When I see a hot woman walking in the street, I get very distracted. Once I was riding my bike and almost crashed into the back of a truck. Another time, a woman had me walking in the opposite direction of where I suppose to be going

[DonkeyDan]

I do rubber neck if a girl I find pretty walks by, but luckily its never caused an accident.

[Creampiekarl420]

Not so much distracted but I have very little interest in everything

[AlwaysBelieving]

At times I’ll get distracted by random thoughts that come in my head.

As far as women distracting me, I haven’t experienced that yet.

[Sevenpointfive]

no, but a pretty girl would certainly do it

[CuriousMufuxka]

What were we talking about?

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope never

[AviatorTom]

@Bklynbadboy12 As a Brooklyn Nets fan, are you sure you're not distracted every time they play?

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope I'm focused on the game no distractions
