I think it’s something that happens which I’ve experienced but I have a hard time describing it since I don’t know a word for it.

However I am not talking about people that are new to or learning a language. I mean like if a lawyer is explaning a contract to you. Or if a teacher is giving giving a lecture and either you are bored out of your mind a drift off or you are so unable to understand some of the finer details that it just goes way over your head. This might also happen when you are mad and having a disagreement.
