Ever done that thing where you sit in a world of your own, completely ignoring the person who is talking to you? I have. It's not that the topic of discussion bores me, it's just my attention drifts elsewhere. It sounds really bad and ignorant, and I don't mean to sound that way.
*thinks*
What I mean to say is that, sometime it is good for a person to have a rant about something and who am I to stop them. Again, that sounds worse than I intend it to. Basically if someone needs to talk about something in length, as in they have to get the thing off their chest, would you stop them if the topic bores you? No, because you would hurt the person's feelings (I am aware I sound like a Care Bear).
A few nods here and there, and you pretend that you are taking everything in, but that's not always there. And being a nodding non-listening person, is better than being an interupting, 'you're boring me' person. I mention this, because I felt it happen to me at work today, with someone nodding along to my blabbering. And I know that I needed a rant, and the fact that the person was there, made me feel better. I got my irk out of my system, and could get on with my night.
