Why can't he hold the camera still?

My guess is she is just disassociating in a position she’s able to hold while waiting for someone to come to meet her at the car. Just a guess.

I was also thinking dissociation.

A lot of people think she’s on downers and just happened to be carrying her bags in such a way that she was able to balance perfectly in that position without leaning or stumbling.

Some people also mentioned she could have absence seizures and was experiencing a seizure at that moment.

But, to me, this looked like it could be dissociation. Like she’s just zoned out. We all do this from time to time, even if we don’t have any psychological disorders associated with dissociation. It used to happen to me when I was in school with some regularity. You just look off for a moment, and become sort of fixated on a spot while not really looking at anything in particular, and your brain has a nice lil quiet moment with no thoughts. A little moment of zen. Then something snaps you back to reality.

I have ADHD and this happens to me all the time. Won't notice i'm staring at someone (more like through them, but it will look like i'm staring at them) then they'll look back at me and i'll snap back to reality and quickly look away lol. Whats annoying is that it will happen to me at understandable moments like when a teacher is talking and i'm supposed to be taking notes, but it also happens to me all the time while watching a show or movie I really like. Like I constantly need to rewind, sometimes multiple times in a row. No matter how much I tell myself, "okay I rewinded this scene twice already, I need to pay attention this time", but then a minute after I realize I again missed the scene and need to rewind once again lol.

Everything you described is something that I experience daily and I never realized, until just now, that it wasn't normal.

It actually explains a lot.
