I often go into irresistible staring trances??

Ever since I was a baby I would go stare off into space almost as if in trance. It's hard to pull myslef from theses trances because it feels so nice and relaxing. People will literally wave in front on my face or pretend to flick something at me to cause me to jump and I'll just keep staring until it passes. I never know when it's going to come on, I'll just find my self pulled into an irresistible staring. I hate having to he pulled away from it and the urge to keel going is too hard to resist. It's a lovely feeling and I just stare and stare feeling my eyes and mouth droop. I noticed a few of my siblings both girls do this as well and they are very little. Most of my family finds it cute or funny to watch them stare with their mouths open but I've become curious as to why we do this. I've never noticed anyone else openly do this. Does anyone else do this too, or are we just weird? Lol (btw we do not have epilepsy we are plenty healthy it seems) Normal? Thanks in advance :)

    I do this to a lot and I don't blink for like up to five minutes. I'm not lieing. But my nana told me that maybe I'm in a very relaxed state like yoga.

    What you are having is a seizure. This used to be a somewhat frequent occurrence for me when I was a child. It is very rare for it to happen to me now. If I were you, I would see a neurologist.

    I have been known to zone out.

    I think these are called petit mal seizures. I used to do the same but grew out of them.

    I have done this from time to time. Only I can still talk and that weirds people out as I'm obviously fixated on one thing, but still very aware of my surroundings.

    You're not weird for doing it, but maybe a bit weird for liking it because I don't know it as a pleasant feeling. It sounds kind of sad that you do it willingly, or let it happen, in front of people no less. I'm sure there's more going on in life outside of your view, you should try looking around more often.
