I've noticed that about a lot of people, turning the conversation back to things about themselves.

I'm lucky in that my DH will listen when I talk to him, at least most of the time. Sometimes, he will begin to tune me out if I talk too long!

I also have a very good friend who will listen. We used to sit beside each other at work, for nine years we did this. There was not much we didn't talk about, and she and I always tried to listen to each other, not interrupt, and it was great. When we moved, we started talking once a week on the phone.

It's quite a relief to have people to talk to like that. Keep looking, maybe you will find someone who knows how to listen. They are out there!
