Glazedover

Glazedover is a term used to describe a state of mental inattentiveness or a vacant expression. It typically occurs when an individual is disengaged from their surroundings, often due to boredom, fatigue, or distraction. The term suggests a lack of focus, as if the person's eyes are "glazed over" and not truly seeing what is in front of them. This state can be temporary and may resolve once the individual's attention is re-engaged. It is a common human experience and can manifest in various settings, such as classrooms, meetings, or during mundane tasks. While not a medical diagnosis, it signifies a temporary lapse in cognitive processing.
