I have such a hard time listening to someone talk or giving feedback if I have no interest in what they're saying. My mind just doesn’t want to let me. Even when it’s something I need to know for practical purposes...I usually just stare at the person talking with a pained expression and block out what they're saying while I watch their mouth move. Then they have to repeat themselves and I look like an idiot! Because I've been staring at them supposedly listening as they have rambled on for 5 minutes...
If it's a small talk situation...especially someone I've just met… I have to stop myself from just walking off. I don't walk off because I know that would be incredibly rude but my facial expressions usually give me away unintentionally.
So depending on the situation I either come off as a bitch or mentally challenged...my blonde hair doesn't help either. I'm seriously considering dying it black or something. :wink:
I just have no desire to talk or listen if I don't care. It's a huge challenge even when I really try to.
If I care though then I talk too much and can listen for hours and when learning something new I can take in everything that's being said with ease. Anyways...I hate this about myself and I'm trying to work on it. :sad: Anyone relate?
