Ever feel like you're talking and no one can hear you? Or maybe its just that no one really cares to listen? What ever it is, it seems like I haven't been able to say everything that I've wanted to say the past few weeks. I think of a lot of things to say, I just don't feel like people really want to listen. For instance, I know when I listen to someone talk, I always always always am actually interested in what they have to say. You know, the whole eye contact, focus, and legitimate responses that one excpects when they are talking to another person. I think its rude to behave otherwise. What bugs me is when people don't treat me the same way. Maybe I'm strange in thinking that how I listen to people is the right way, but I'd at least like to not have to repeat myself. If what I said wasn't important enough for you to listen to it the first time, why should I say it again? I understand that sometimes I'm hard to hear, and will give the benefit of the doubt. But talking over me, or turning your interest towards something else shows that what I had to say wasn't nearly as important to you and I feel that you don't need to hear it.
Am I wrong to think that?
