Growing up everyone around me treated me like a weird freak for staring off at like a wall or out the window or something else when I was lost in thought or bored, so what are we supposed to do when we're not actively look at something?

My parents always did the "what are you thinking about?" when I was spaced out in my nothing box, and to this day do not understand why this made me angry. a) if I wanted to share my thoughts, I would have done so, if I'm not sharing it's none of your business! and b) you destroyed my sweet nothing moment! That short respite from my always-on brain, lost because you're nosy!

Makes me mad just thinking about. Glad my love doesn't do this (he wouldn't be my love otherwise, I guess).
