What is this Social Issue Called?

I have this weird issue where I'll be walking in the halls and I'm so focused and pre-occupied on what I'm doing that I won't notice people walking bye or when they say hi. Is there a term for this?

Update:

well my girlfriend broke up with me cause i ignored her in the halls (that was one reason) and i never meant to. is there like something this is called so i can explain it

    I've been told I do that too. Anyone who knows me knows that it's not done intentionally or maliciously. There are times when I'm simply one tracked.

    Its not a social condition. Its concentration. Some call it tunnel vision.
