*staring*

Yep, am guilty of doing this from time to time. Usually it's when something is on my mind and I can't decide what to do or how to go about solving the issue. I watch my cat do this all the time. Actually, it's rather amusing.

Hi:)Haha,i do this quite often.I blank out when im thinking too much about something,like im in my own little colored world with puffy clouds and rainbows and the birds are singing,hehe.Ive even noticed i "space-out"while driving,ahh!I start thinking and notice im further down the road and wonder how in the world ive gotten this far and not hit anyone.Its like im semi-conscence but still "in"the world to kind of know whats going on on the road.FREAKY!!I guess my thinking hat is too strong,haha. Peanutjar:)

I believe I've done that at the doctor office, and the hospital, and my own place, at opera recital, OK, yes, the opera recital was my sister's, but can you really blame me?

If I did my husband would think i had gone bonkers LOL

there are times when I just feel like staring to a blank wall and that times come when I think of something deeply. Or if I think of a problem which needs an immediate solution. It's better to stare a blank wall coz it gives you proper frame of mind.

When I'm in a just staring frame of mind I prefer to do it at a window, that way I can pretend I'm admiring the view. My cats sometimes stare at the walls too. I used to have a cat that would sit in the corner and stare intently at it for long periods of time. My uncle used to make his kids do that to punish them... "go sit in the corner" he'd say. Weird.

i really love staring at the wall especially when i can't sleep

Believe it or not I have done this a lot! Sometimes I can be so consumed with a problem that I need to get away from the paperwork or computer because I feel like the answer is right under my nose, but I need to get away from it to see it. Or sometimes I have so many distractions that I need to just clear my head. I will turn off any music or tv and just stare at the wall.

i find myself doing that quite often. especially if i've got something on my mind and got deep into my thoughts then i find myself looking at the wall...mostly im laying n my bed so its my ceiling that i end up looking at lol

i have a distinct memory of spending a stretch of time just staring at a wall when i was still in grade school. it was the time when i attended catechism classes led by one of our neighbors. during that period of my life, i came to understand God as a being who constantly breathes behind my neck, waiting for me to make the next mistake and tallies each on a scoreboard. each tally marking a step closer to hell. i remember one afternoon of staring at the wall thinking that my soul was already burning in hell even if i was still alive.
