Ever have this happen in school?

In school, have you ever been daydreaming, then a teacher says,"What are you doing, daydreaming? Pay attention!" Or something like that? Whenever that happens, I just feel so... Weird. I know they don't know about MD, and I keep thinking: They don't know that I cannot help myself. They see kids not paying attention all day, so when I do it, it's like it's no different. But, it is. When I get called out on it, I look around, hoping no one would think anything of it either. Does that happen to anyone else? How do you feel?

@Rashomon Effect: What I consider the difference is that MDers struggle with this on a regular basis. Normal kids just space out. It happens. I didn't mean anything by it, I was simply replying to the blog.
Also, when I posted MY blog, I wasn't saying that my MD is gone forever. I was saying it is gone temporarily because I'm happier now that I have been in a long time.
Do you have a problem with me? Not like me, or something, because everytime I post something, or reply to a comment stating my person opinion, I feel like you are always the first one to start trying to prove me wrong. I was just asking if changes in mood could affect MD. I wasn't saying that a new relationship caused my MD to vanish. Look, i know I may be a 15 year old girl, but that doesn't mean that I am any less mature than an adult. I've seen things. And I've grown up a lot for my age. So, if you don't agree with anything I have to say because I'm "young and stupid," then just stop replying and attempting to "challenge" what I have to say all of the time. I can't think of a time where you've actually agreed with me once. And I don't know if you're meaning for it to come off the way it is, but it's starting to bother me.

Yes! Thank you for posting this, I no longer feel as if I'm alone. :) I'm sorry this happened to you. Whenever teachers or my parents say something like this to me, I get SO enraged, glare at them and think, "If only you knew..." I happen to space out a lot in school. Some of the time I don't even get called out on it. Usually it's a lot of me suddenly beginning to daydream, and not snapping out of it and realizing what I was doing until 15 minutes later.
The other day in the middle of class, I began to daydream, and realized I had made a facial expression and gesture, and snapped out of it immediately, freaking out and wondering if people saw it. That was scary!

It happens to most of us all the time.

Both my teacher and my parents thinks that I'm failing on purpose. D:

I never really had that because as a child, I could still focus in class, and as a teen the teachers never noticed, even after I told them about MD and that I may look like I'm working when I'm not.

That happened to me a lot as a kid in school. I'd get paranoid that anyone looking at me could read my mind and tell what I was Dding about, so I think I stopped.
