Growing up everyone around me treated me like a weird freak for staring off at like a wall or out the window or something else when I was lost in thought or bored, so what are we supposed to do when we’re not actively look at something?

WTF? Almost everyone does this! Sounds like you grew up with assholes who were looking for any excuse to mock and berate you. In which case, I’m sorry.
If you were frequently getting lost in your thoughts and not responding to them when they’d try to get your attention then maybe I could see some light teasing.
One thing I would add, not because it’s wrong to do this but because it might lead to people thinking it odd: if you are staring out of the same window or at the same wall for more than a few minutes, maybe switch your gaze to something else (a different wall or window or whatever). That way it doesn’t draw as much attention and it’s makes you look like you are more seated of your surroundings.
