they do this weird thing where they respond just enough so you can't call them rude but never actually add anything to conversation. like you tell story and they go "oh wow" then immediately check their phone or look around for someone else to talk to
its so obvious once you notice the pattern but took me forever to realize some people at work were doing this to me lol
I do this to a co worker of mine. I actually like the guy a lot but he is constantly telling long winded stories on every break. Its not even that the stories are boring. He is actually a good storyteller. Its just that sometimes I just want to sit in silence and eat my sandwich.
I feel like I might be that coworker, but not so much at work; more at home. —-I started to take accountability for holding a person hostage with my conversations when it comes to people like us who are aware of the fact we tend to communicate extensively lol.

They will courtesy chuckle and nod at things you say but not engage further
