"Sorry, it cut out for me. Can you repeat that last part?"

I use this line in... a lot of online meetings.

Sometimes if you spaced out for too long, you could just say "sorry, the call was going crazy for a minute there, all I got was you saying thursday..."

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

So Thursday?

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t even explain, I just say “sorry say that again? Oh ok”

Also gotta love when the noise filter filters out your snoring, so the person you're talking to doesn't know you didn't hear because you fell asleep. Over and over through your conversation.

I'll try this one. Sadly I don't have the luxury of online meetings.

I sometimes wonder if zoomers pretend they have bad internet in real life interactions.

If that sounds like something a boomer would say: I'm a millenial

I just say I was doing something else for a moment. It’s not my fault if they assume that something else was work related.

“Can we just get a brief recap to make sure we’re all on the same page?”

So was it dissociate or disassociate??

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

so daydreaming is a coping mechanism that our brains use for boredom. boredom is something people with ADHD experience more frequently.

in other words, many daydreamers have ADHD but not all

Also, cognitive disengagement syndrome or CDS. (It is not recognized yet by the DSM, though).

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Yep! CDS is at a weird place. I've worked with people who present that way - it's quite different from ADHD. I think over the years we're going to reshift some of how we look at ADHD and sister conditions.

I don't care who recognizes it as a disorder. If it exists, it exists.

[–] StephenTallentyre 3 points 1 year ago

I understand this and I hate that, lol.

Same here, buddy...
