Thank you for the replies, I currently don't take any meds nor am i planning to. I may have deficiency in some vitamins tough recently i had a blood test and no major problems were found.

I agree with the idea that low self-esteem and ADD symptoms are a big factor in my issues but I think there's something else that is the main culprit in my problem, I have two acquaintances who have ADHD/dyslexia and share most of the symptoms I have besides this one. I remember that i always had problems paying attention to multiple threads of information for example if i am doing something like reading subtitles on a video and someone is talking to me i could barely recall what the person was saying while i was reading and if i try to pay attention to two things i cant hold it on any of them so basically I can only do one thing while i ignore the other -which at that point only serves as a distranction-. (dont know how much of this is normal)

Another interesting example that can be related to the others mentioned in the first post: When i am hanging out with a friend i can act normally as in be talkative, hold a topic/conversation/pay attention etc but if i am in a group - at least 2-3 more people - My brain blocks up and i can barely think of anything to say in coversations and i become noticeably silent and start daydreaming most of the time (i am pretty shy around strangers true but this also happens when all the members of the group are people im comfortable with)

I really want to find a name for this symptom at least so i can better understand it maybe find a treatment for it. depression and adhd do lower my quality of life but this problem prevents me from doing basic things that involve any "big picture" thinking (Like driving, i do have a license but this problem kicks in and i can barely pay attention to my surroundings so i dont really drive at all as i would be pretty dangerous on the road )
