no communication

how can you communicate with someone that only asks you a question, to shut you up when you are not even half way done with your answer? how can you communicate with someone when they don't listen..? how can I talk to someone who only talks to me to hear themselves talk, how can I talk to someone who just doesn't dare to try to even want to understand me..? why is it everytime I open my mouth it has to be shut to let those "important" speak??? why is it every time I talk with someone it seems so damn pointless??? and why is it that therapy, someone just listening, has to cost so much money? I mean I spent literally my whole life listening to others, and offering the shoulder to lean on and didn't charge a dime but now that I need a shoulder to lean on or just an ear to speak to its gone cost me a hundred dollars for just half an hour?????

You have a voice here. There is always someone on PC willing to listen. Keep posting.

It sucks when everyone seems to stop listening.
I think its wonderful you felt you could say something here! I know its hard feeling like the ones we care for dont want to hear what we have to say, but dont stop trying, dont hold it inside, dont implode, because its when you stop trying you fall into that deep hole.

I hope you feel you can express things here, and that you get the listening ears you need!

I get frustrated with those sort of conversationalists too. They don't listen to a word you say, they just wait for their turn to talk. Being interrupted mid sentence is a major pet peeve of mine. I typically just stop talking at that point

How do you communicate, with someone, that cuts you off mid-sentence. You don't.

so you've been talking to my husband, have you? Funny thing is, this seems like it just started after 30 years together. Totally infuriating...if you figure out what to do, please let me know. You are not alone, though!

ahhh..tea almost came out my nose!!

My husband has his moments, too.
