    I always thought it was normal that I could make time pass super quickly by “turning my head off” and living in a fantasy world for a while, but I guess it’s not?

    I don’t think it is quite the same thing as is being depicted in the art, the fact they are calling it an “episode” implies that it is involuntary.

    I’ve lost a good chunk of that ability anyway, and long wait periods now annoy me.

    If you are anything like me then talking aloud really helps with this, whenever I need to wait for something I just mutter little stories to myself while pretending to be on the phone. That is if I am not already thinking about something else.

      That’s a good point, actually. Episode makes it sound like it’s a somewhat frequent, involuntary thing. Walking always helps me get into that “mood”, which is why I really struggle with conversations or just looking at the scenery when strolling through a park. I always get lost in random thoughts on casual walks.
