I feel the same like you. the worst part of it is when you are around people or a bf, and they start to get you involved in a conversation, like asking you so what do you think of this and that!? and they have no idea that you are in a different world at that moment..I sometimes feel as if I'm going to forget my own name! and no information how simple it is could stick to my head for more than a second (if I'm lucky though ;)
