It sounds like your dad had some sense to him!

Personally, I’m capable of deep focus but also easily distracted. In some sense it almost physically hurts to be pulled out of that focus. When it happens too often, I’m “scared” to try and get back in.

Putting me in an open floor (as has happened repeatedly in the last decade) is certainly not the key to maximizing my impact.

It's like if you tried to bend over and pick something up and right before you picked it up, someone kicked it away a little. And then you tried again, so they kick it again. Over and over. Eventually you stop reaching for it.
