Fascinating sub-discussion! I didn't realize other people experienced this same thing.
I get this when I watch someone who is intensely focused on something slow and repetitive. The best example I remember from my childhood is being mesmerized watching someone sort a deck of cards.
I still get this, and have learned to set up situations that can trigger it (good adult example is having someone slowly "write" text on my back with their finger).

- shawnc 15y agoI'm only just now learning it's not the case. I never really discussed it with anyone but I pretty much figured it was a common occurance for everyone. Wow.
