Triggers?

It would be a public service to people like myself, if anyone psychologically knowledgeable were to shed light on triggers of absent-mindedness. Sometimes I have a brief sense of my normal awareness warning me that I'm slipping out of mental gear, and then I do slip out, but I don't know it until I'm dealing with the consequences later...purchase left on counter, failure to buy the thing I specifically went into a store to get, etc. It's like the regular awareness is behind a pane of thick glass, rapping and shouting that I'm in process of "losing it", but I can't hear the message properly and only see the wild gesticulations out of the corner of my eye. Can bright fluorescent lights, or stomach empty/stomach full fluctuations, or caffeine overload have a triggering effect on absent-mindedness? Rootlet (talk) 00:32, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]


I have often heard that absent-mindedness is a common experience for people with ADHD. More information on this would be good. Karebear8400 (talk) 23:14, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
