Permanently Focused?!

So i'm having a little bit of confusion regarding my one Sim's Focused emotion.

He never has any Focused moodlets whatsoever, but he is for some reason in a permanent emotional state of being 'Very Focused".

I've even gone as far as to give him emotion potions from the rewards store and they add a +100 moodlet to a specific emotion such as flirty, but he still stays very focused. It's making it very difficult to achieve certain tasks that I need to complete. Does anyone know why this is?

Also it might be worth it to note that this particular sims mother was exactly like this until she starved to death when this sim was a child, and since then this Sim has taken this permanent focused emotion on.

Hopefully the picture I've posted works so you can sorta see what I'm talking about. Can anyone help me?

THNX!
