1. To be day dreaming and unaware of the things around you. You usually appear to be staring at something, when in fact you are just looking in one place and you are deep in thought, or your mind is blank and you are trying to find yourself. Often
people will wave their hand in front of your face and make a huge deal out of getting you to 'come back to earth'
2.A lot of times
people that self-harm
will "zone out" before they do it. This simply means that they seem to block out everything around them and can no longer reconize where they are, nor can they feel pain.
