Will you listen to a topic you're not interested in?

Out of respect and curiosity, I do. Actually that scenario happened to me a couple of months back. On that particular scenario, I accepted to join the activity in order not to make a scene that will embarass both myself and my friend but also to learn if I can make use of this opportunity. In the end of the session, I discovered that I am really uniterested in the toipc but seeing that my friend was happy and motivated is a good reason enough to attend that session for a few hours of my time.

Hi arielsn, You know that there are some individual differences and at the same time, there are some created interests. if at all you don't prepare to attend, staying there for sometimes may enable you to create a kind of interest. This happens at times.

I will become interested to listen to his/her seminar or lecture or training because not only for friendship. I know that i will learn from this training that is why i need to listen. I know also that my friend will not invited me for nonsense and i think i will not be bored. If the things that is not really interested in me i better not pay attention. If only it was not for the good of us yes i guaranty you that i'll be bored.

I will be willing to listen to a topic that doesn;t really interest me. I just might find something that i can take away from such a discussion to enrich my life. you just never know what will inspire you.

I am already there so i guess i can't do anything but to listen and when im tired of listening, pretend that i am still listening. And after the seminar i will tell my friend that i am really not interested in networking business stuff and that i am never into it. I do know that the friend will understand..

Well it would depend on which friend it was.. But I'd end up staying because who knows I could actually like the seminar.

I'm usually very patient and polite if something is clearly important to my friend, even if it doesn't interest me. I'd feel a bit tricked though if I ended up at that business seminar. I would probably stick it out, but not be too pleased about it and make my excuses not to join his network.

Well I'll just listen to it on account of friendship. But looking at another perspective, if let's say the topic or seminar has some helpful tips for me to listen, I mean, why not? If there really is some good tips like saving money or what, then it'll be as good as time well spent.
