Been there, done that! It is funny how our tuning into if people are listening to us or not is totally subconscious. Once I made the EXACT stuff up there ^ that you wrote conscious, it didn't happen again. Now if I am talking with a self centered monologuer I get away ASAP. Also, after I became aware that I super tuned into if people are paying attention to me speaking or not, it removed my feeling upset about it. You can't beat awareness and bringing things to conscious awareness! Now if a person isn't interested in listening to me, then they aren't interested and it doesn't bother me that much anymore.
