We have all seen those memes about how seeing people Info-dump is the hottest thing ever, but even in normal conversations listening to people talk is chore in of itself. I get bored quickly and look somewhere else or interrupt them with my own thoughts or try to predict what they are going to say.
It feels like i am more interest in myself and what i care about than what the other person has to say,who they are or what they care about.
And yes, i am aware how beyond self-centered that is and i do wish to work on that but i am also wondering if others have similar experience.
Having a conversation is a two way affair and if you are involved in the conversation you can choose to try to steer the conversation. However I think you may have a compulsory need to talk, driven by your thought process.
Maybe try to keep in mind what you want from the conversation. Is it an opportunity to bond and share thoughts with the other person, or are the topics discussed the most important thing and the relationship secondary and worth sacrificing?
