Trouble Responding to People

[PepperBlossoms]

Does anyone else have the problem where someone says something and you hear it but you don't respond or do any sort of action to acknowledge that the other person said something?

I have had this problem since I was a kid and I keep on having times where I am not reacting to others.

If you had this problem, what worked for you to solve it?

Yes being able to shift focus and drop whatever I am currently focusing on to focus on the other person and choosing that hey this person wants to be responded to, I need to respond, listen up me, snap out of the whatever and respond!

I only have this problem, if I am lost in my thoughts and don’t listen. Did you try to work on your concentration skills?

Thanks for the comment.  I will try to improve my concentration.

Meditation can help you with this issue unless you suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Because you are a pretty lady and you have lots of attention on you all the time so you don't respond to many people. Now you just need to be more aware and respond more often. Build up the habit.

How do you know that the user is a lady?
