I can relate to a lot of what you say here
A few times I have I walked to the store, bought my goods, and walked out without my groceries. One time I walked into the wall (omg, how?!) and another into the power line in the street.
I have done that many times lOL
I think I have the opposite problem I do listen to people but am sometimes over thinking it or my mind races off on a tangent thinking what they will say next and some times I will reply to what I think there going to say and not what they said, fortunatly i must read people well and more often than not I get it right, and get a weird look of how did you know I was going to ask that LOL
I am glad these posts are good for you and you should keep doing them
