Ever lost focus to your thoughts?

I'm asking this because recently I've been failing "easy" beatmaps because my brain decided to think about my past and lose focus while playing osu. (it is kind of funny sometimes)
Was wondering if this has ever happened to you before.

Don't know if this is the right place to post these kind of stuff, still new to the forum.

I've noticed this while playing longer beatmaps
It happens to me a lot when reading books too...

All the time, especially when I'm farming PP .

First, it's the background noise depending on the environment I'm in .

Kids yelling and bothering me while I'm trying to FC the map I'm farming .

My grandma, watching her Thai dramas on the big tv so it's pretty dang loud .

Got other relatives who talks to me and makes try and do things while playing .

It's hot and I start to sweat a lot .

When I'm almost their, I think of the most negative thing, which is "what if I miss ? " or like "Almost there, don't fck up now ."

Yea, uhm. . .all that, when I'm trying to FC one freakin' map ._.

I find that it's kind of different for me...
I feel that, as long as I'm playing a map that's not too difficult, having my focus drift away to other random thoughts (or nothing at all) makes me play more consistently, and the process of playing sort of becomes a background task... sort of like second-nature process. Conversely, if I'm struggling to beat a map and I concentrate too hard about it, I very rarely manage to get through the difficult parts. It's still important for me to stay relatively focused for those parts specifically, but otherwise I benefit better from not actively thinking about what I'm doing.

I've become so accustomed to it that in addition to the usual "don't blink", I also tell myself "don't think".

i tend to do this on long marathon maps that have slow bpm. I don't tend to break, but when i do, it's so very annoying.

This also happens to me. I find it pretty funny though how I'm playing brainlessly. :D

I don't lose focus to thoughts, I just lose focus cause I wasn't thinking of anything. my mind would just forget that I was playing osu and my hands would just move as they were before I realized I was still playing

sometimes it makes me player better, which pisses me off as I realise how much me making a conscious effort to hit the circles is actually detrimental.

During a break I slap myself back into concentration.
True story.

When I am thinking about depressing or that kind of stuff I usually tend to dedicate my whole day for that and not to play anything at all.
Then the next day is usually better because I dont need to stress about those things and I can focus fully on trying to FC and clear maps I havent been able to before.
Also I dont know why but I tend to make better plays while skyping with friends. Dunno if that relaxes me or what.

I usually start thinking about recent events and my brain goes in to autopilot mode when it comes to playing :/ Usually miss or fail.

The longer a beatmap is the more likely I am to fall prey to losing focus. It's one of my worst flaws when it comes to osu!
