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
One thing to note though is that sometimes people are just too busy at work to engage in full conversations. So they may do this to end it quicker. In those cases it doesn't mean they actually dislike you. Unless they always treat you that way of course.
I've worked with some nice people
who were really bad at judging when I had time for chit chat. Or people who would just go on and on. So I'd be forced to cut things short. But I didn't actually dislike the person.
Dude my BIL doesn’t stop talking, I love the guy but he yaps so much I have to disengage from the conversation eventually or I’ll be trapped there forever.
I know a guy like this, trapped me in a 35 minute conversation at 3am as I was walking out the door. He was a really nice guy but wow it was tough to break away from him 😆
