Listening to reply or to Hear?

Often times in conversation a person or even group of people will be listening to a story you could be telling, and almost every time immediatly after you close your mouth someone in the group will just start talking about something often times not even related to anything you just said. Why does this happen you might be asking?

Im sure you’ve probobly been on the dealing end of this interaction before in your life and the reasons for this is meerly just the fact that most people dont think before they talk weather its anxiety that causes you to blurt out what your thinking or just a lack of attention. Personally when im talking to someone i dont find it interesting to just hurry the conversation along to a topic about me. Listening to someone is over 50% of the conversation and I usually have something interesting to say afterwards. Overall this can be a pretty meaningless exchange, especially when the other person dosent listen. But it can definitly tell you alot about that person allowing you to understand wheather or not you want to be freinds with this person, this habit never changes on its own so if you really want to be freinds you may have to tell them to slow down and listen.
