Hello I’m going to write an advice column later today
Do you have questions to ask me
You can DM if it’s private and you’d like it anonymized
Thank you

question: what do you do when you're in a conversation with someone who is really not-present?
I find myself checking out, smiling, but also being less responsive. They can keep on talking. Do you have or know of strategies to note what's going on and potentially re-focus?

what if it’s a friend who is usually present, but isn’t at that moment?

hmm depends what you want i guess? could be as simple as “hey you seem a little distracted, what’s on your mind?” or if that seems unlikely to help, maybe some other kind of pattern interrupt, like “hey wanna talk outside / on a walk?”
