It's ok to not process somethings/sometimes. For one, it frees the decision/thinking process up for better/more worthy mental pursuits as decision/thinking is a mental finite resource. For two, it buys time to remember there are other alternatives than the gut/first response.

You might just be seeing how void much discussion in various places actually is of true significance. (Going for walks has helped me see this before as it seems to 'clear the mind'.) Like that scene in Breaking Bad when Hank tells Walt to "shut up, he's already made up his mind. He's just waiting for you to shut up."

This might be a time for you to re-explore for yourself what your goals and definitions of what you want/don't want are. There are likely things/discussions within which you simply have no interest. This is healthy.
