Do you ever switch off?

Great Wyrley

Like when you are in conversation?

It's something I notice more and more recently.

When chatting with someone I do always pay interest to the other person but, more and more people nowadays just want to talk about themselves.

Everything that is said always gets turned round to them and what they have done etc etc then you just end up feeling like a spare part just turning up to observe lol

It's then that I switch off........cake time........

Yep! I just drift into a little world of my own. I find this type of person often complains that people don't visit.....hmmm wonder why. Try sticking your next out and conversing instead of just talking at people.

I'm always switched off, used to have really poor concentration but had some, it's given up altogether now.

I avoid people who talk about themselves all the time, facebook is for those people, or questionnaires.

Ahhh yes .....

The older I get the less patience I have with people that start every sentence with "I" or "me" in front of it!

the irony is we all participate in threads where talking about ourselves is almost inevitable

Haha

So true!

But none of us are in denial about our attention seeking

I don't do it a lot, but I'm quite good at just avoiding having conversations in the first place with people who I know are going to just talk at me.

Yes, I do switch off.

When ever we meet up with the family, 2 members keep bringing everything back to them. I tend to sit back and be quiet or go for a wander round the shops with the granddaughter.

Until they stop and say something like

" so what do you think I should do", then I panic trying to find a universal answer so it looks like I was paying a bit of attention.

I love it because I can easily stop people asking questions about me. I just say something about them and they forget I even exist.

I always try to avoid talking about myself. I like to find out about the other person and leave it to them to ask me things about myself, that way you are only telling them things that interest them. Thou sometimes I have been accused of asking too many questions so it's a fine balancing act. I love to chat thou

Yes, often when someone starts talking about themselves and they don't try to listen to you..I go quiet and think of recipes and what I could be doing instead.

Most people aren't listening, they are just waiting for their turn to speak, we all do it to some degree

No, I don't switch off. I have a hard time having a conversation with someone and not listening. I also find that I am generally interested in what other people have to say about themselves and their experiences.

However, if someone does it consistently (like if every time I talk to someone I have to sit through long stories about their kids or something), then I just don't talk to that person. If they wanted to know why, I would tell them.

Surely this is how a conversation works? You say something and then the other person replies with their take on what you said?

Lets say for example you say I don't like swingers, people can only reply with their views and experiences,
