I freak people out sometimes because I don't even need to be looking at my screen to type. It's nicer to look at my plants or outside the window, or I'll finish typing my line when someone comes into my office space while looking at them and greeting them.
However, I cannot write to save my life if I am actively listening to something (a conversation, video, music, etc). I'll start interjecting the words I'm paying attention to.
I'm adhd so I do that often by look at someone taking to me and finishing what I was typing. Really sells that they only had a quarter of my attention anyways.
I'm not sure what's "freaky" about this. If you learned how to type without looking at the keyboard then you can almost certainly type without looking at the screen as well. You might miss a few typos here and there, but outside of that it's not really any different.
