to be completely absorbed in one's thoughts · unaware of one's surroundings
Ever found yourself staring into space, completely oblivious to your surroundings because you're lost in thought or daydreaming? ✨ That's exactly when you're 'in a world of your own'! It's often used when someone is so focused on their internal world, they miss what's happening externally. Maybe they're deep in thought, worried, or just blissfully imagining things!
💡 **Pro Tip!** This expression can be used playfully (e.g., 'Snap out of it, you're in a world of your own!') or to describe someone who seems distracted or pensive. It's usually not negative, just an observation that someone's mind is elsewhere. 😊
When would you typically say someone is 'in a world of their own'? A. They are actively participating in a lively debate. B. They are loudly singing karaoke with friends. C. They are sitting quietly, staring out the window, and don't notice you walk in.
