It means that you are too self-absorbed and concerned with your discomfort, your needs, your fears, you you you....
Focus on other people, their thoughts, and what they go through. Become an extrovert (it's easy). Give people your attention and recognition. Compliment them and ask them questions. Make it all about them, not all about yourself.

Diagnosed? I seriously doubt that any professional would make such a diagnostic. Would it not be horrible to contemplate the possibility that you could become a prisoner of somebody else's mind?
At least you are at liberty to be nice to your prisoner. A little secret, we are all prisoners of our minds, or when was the last time your foot gave you orders? I think your shrink has "hoof on mouth"
disease in these case.

I would question a mental health professional who made such a diagnosis since it is not really a diagnosis. A prisoner of ones own mind has bars that are psychological rather than literal bars. These bars prevent him from doing things he is physically able to do, for example talk to someone of the opposite sex. Sometimes your prison may involve compulsions like excessive hand washing or counting steps.

It means that you are caught so severely in your own little world that you fail to notice what's going on around you, social situations, etc.

It means that you are so caught up in your own reality that you are unable to see reality as everyone else sees it.
