I notice i do this sometimes myself during conversation, and notice when some people do it to me.
Its like your both having a converstaion, but the 2 participants only care about giving their side of the story, and couldnt care less about the others... unless it can be used as a tangent to talk about themselves more.
I know this sounds selfish but ive seen people do it plenty!
Its not often that you get a situation where people actually truly listen, instead of just waiting for their turn to talk.
I think you really have to care about the subject or the person your talking to.
For instance, i worked with a guy who was into cars. No matter what either of us talked about, we wouldnt listen to each other and kept bringing the conversation back to each-others car. It was like that all the time!
Am i just reading into things that arnt there or do other people notice this?
Do you ever catch yourself doing it?
