    I hear you! I HATE that, it make me feel so unwelcomed in the conversation. To the point that I will often just pick up and leave!

    I agree with you whole heartedly. People are just plain rude and don't listen. They feel entitled to say anything and everything even though it might hurt someone else. So sad.

    I have a friend at church who doesn't really listen. She just "assumes". Most of the time, I find her assumptions are wrong. I no longer try to correct her. I also don't really talk to her anymore. I'm polite, but I don't tell her that the furnace is broken or the car needs repair. A listening ear and a promise to pray for us would be nice. I appreciate that I can get those here.

    I love to talk to people (and even listen).

    I know what you mean. My son lives with me but the only way we can really communicate if via email. It is the only way I can get him to listen to what I am trying to say without the look that I don't know what I am talking about.

    Thank you for the reminder! I am afraid I am guilty of interrupting too often and I need to slow myself down and listen more!
