Why doesn’t this have more views! This is exactly what I needed. Genuinely grateful you made this

[@Jace0241]

Good stuff, thank you!!! I'm in and out of multiple zoom meetings each day and I need all the attention and focus I can get.

[@heyrob-net]

Wow, I watched several popular videos (including some 15-minute TED talks with millions of views) trying to find *this* information. No fluff. No endless opening credits. KZbin view #s have very little to do with quality. Thank you, Anita.

[@WordCortex]

Wow, thank you for this, Robert! I try my best to keep the fluff out, haha. Appreciate your support!

Mine is getting serious, I suddenly zone out, I mean I hear, I look at that person, like only body present but my brain can't process what I'm hearing, I have to stop them mid-talkikg or after they finish I ask from them to repeat, this happens when someone is facing me or put his full attention on me, Wether they are close or far, sometimes it even gives me a tightness in the head, as if I'm locked up, it's frustrating and makes me feel inferior cuz I have to ask again or ask them to slow down, sometimes that person is of a higher position and that would make them feel less of me, they even laugh or be like "nevermind I'll do it"

[@MicahBraunlich]

Dang man I’m sorry to hear sounds truly serious, did any of these tips help you out?

[@MicahBraunlich]

If you want my opinion, It sounds like a confidence issue, I have this slight but only when I’m focusing on myself more than the other person. Screws me up and then I focus more on myself to click back and stop.

[@saishreedattatreya3826]

I've actually been in discussions where people uncontrollably shake their legs! I kept thinking they had Restless Leg Syndrome! I understand now that that may not be the case 😛

[@WordCortex]

Haha, they probably just needed to use the restroom. 😆

[@manishbharambe7864]
