I can't imagine that I am the only one who has experienced this phenomena and I am quite sure that it appears in other areas also

It happens to me a lot. I think we have a lot of incomplete information due to it.

I found that the only way for me to combat this background process from kicking in and affecting me was to actively look for it, kind of like a background scan process. At school, I would enter into the class knowing that I am likely to hear things I don't know so I would remind myself to switch on the scan.

Honestly I have to do this with your long posts because my brain doesn't want to get out of its comfort zone.
