Get that from so many people all the time

They don't realize how inconsiderate they are being. It annoys me because I try to be a good listener and try to pause in between a conversation to give the other person a chance to speak if they want

If someone is a great conversationalist, I don't mind doing all the listening. On the other hand, people who monopolize a conversation and never stop to hear anyone else's input, are a drain on the brain.

Yeah it actually drains me, and makes me sleepy to listen to someone talk non stop

@swandfriends I had a relative once who talked non-stop on the phone. She wouldn't even pause for breath to listen to me answer a question. I was actually able to put the phone down, go make a cup of tea, come back, pick up the phone and find her still rattling on -- never knowing the difference.

I try to cut people some slack. I have a very good friend who has no memory of almost anything I say. I used to be offended by that, but he can't remember whether it's nutmeg he doesn't like, or cinnamon...so I don't think it's a listening problem.

talk doesn't really mean anything to me if it doesn't mean anything at all- if you didn't really make enough sense of what I said, what would be the point of what you're telling me

Interact with them according to their strengths.

Not craving anyone to hear me avoids a feel fest.

Like our elected representatives?

I have a cousin who's like that. I get annoyed with her. She's full of advice for folk but she never bothers to hear about the full problem. And her solutions are...shallow. @Unlearn

@Longpatrol haha... when are you planning to talk to her next?
Longpatrol · 31-35, M
@Unlearn eh, I try to keep at least a couple of years between our conversations. I need the time to recover from my head imploding.

Yes, I think so. But first you have to rotate it to the right. Then it should work. ...What was the question?
