Sometimes when i watch a movie, the movie ends and it feels like I've not seen the world for a very long time.
Happens with many other things actually, when I'm reading a book it just flows, I forget I'm even reading words.
That too
People can't even speak to me when I'm reading because I'm so absorbed
I spent yesterday hearing people talk in Japanese after watching an entire Japanese drama series (500 minutes) in one sitting. That was weird. Whenever I couldn't quite make out what someone said, which is often, instead of the usual guess my brain comes up with it was coming up with Japanese words and phrases.
I also get super involved when reading something. In school the teacher gave up trying to get my attention when the next class would start because I would be reading. They would even skip over me when the class would take turns reading out loud. Anything short of actually touching me or the book went completely unnoticed. When I reached the end of a chapter I usually noticed that class had restarted and I just caught up to where everyone else was.
That got me in trouble a few times at the library. Mainly because I was working there and supposed to be putting the books away not reading them.
