You're confusing concentrating with zoning out. True "zoning out" (i.e. hyperfocus, flow, etc.) would be if you didn't hear them speak to you at all. True zoning out would be if you weren't even aware of their presence in the room.When I'm playing video games I zone out of everything. If someone tries to talk to me I say something like "Yeah, whatever, I'm okay". After I realize what I say I feel like a jerk cause I ignored them without meaning to
True "zoning out" is when you're so focused on what you're doing, you don't notice the house is burning down around you!
True "zoning out" is where people can decorate you as a Christmas tree and you don't even notice!
Now THAT's 'zoning out'!!!
