I was climbing a tree yesterday and realized that I hadn't even thought that the people watching were going to judge me, and that I would have thought of it previously, and that it would have made it harder to just climb the tree. Then I thought that if I could use the same trick on social interaction, it would become much easier. Then I wondered how you might learn to use that trick.
In other words, I don't know, but the question I don't know the answer to is a little bit closer to success.
This works well for things that aren't communicating with a person. But your interlocutor will certainly be evaluating you and your words. You'd have to be pretty absorbed or incompetent to lose awareness of that :)
If you mean to be bravely ignorant about how bystanders view your attempt, okay.
