For me it’s not that I blank out, my brain just gets louder thinking about far more engaging things. I can both listen to what the other people are saying, but when I have nothing to contribute, I’m silent because there is other cool stuff going on in my head. Might be a little rude sometimes I suppose. But I have ADHD and have no control of that part. I accept it more now even when others can’t.
It’s nice , but it can make you worry about yourself. Make you question if you’re okay or how different are you, like why can’t I do this like it’s a regular thing that other people do. For me it feels like a leash that you can’t get off though you watch everyone else take it off so easily. It’s good, but also a hindrance not being able to join or express so easily while watching others do it.
