👉 Outwardly - I've been told by some people that when you're out of your mind and don't know what's going on, you should just be "outwardly". It means being completely detached and not caring about the consequences. For instance:

Example: "I was in a movie theater last night and there were so many people outside that I couldn’t help but feel out of my mind. But then, when it finally came time to go home and watch the movie, I realized how much fun it was being out in the open air." In this case, we're talking about a situation where someone becomes distracted or emotionally disconnected due to external stimuli like crowds or loud noises. The use of "outwardly" conveys the sense that this person is not focused on their surroundings and instead spends most of their time outside, oblivious to the importance of being present and engaged in their activity.
