If you do get into hyperfocus on something you need to like work or a project or whatever, someone or something breaking you out of it is incredibly frustrating. Like not because what ever the interruption is isn't important, but because hyperfocus is difficult to get into on something important, so hard to switch focus from, and there is an almost painful obssessibe need to have completed where doing.
