Answer 1

Answer:

Being self absorbed.

Explanation:

While the speaker is addressing Lindsey, she is in her own world.

A world of herself thinking about her affairs and those of her family.

Due to this, she cannot fully concentrate to what her sociology professor guest speaker has to say.

Self absorbance distracts one from attentively listening to other issues since the mind concentrates on self thoughts.
