Is there a point in your life that you feel embarrassed because nobody bothers to listen you while you are talking? How do you feel about it?

I would surely be irritated and feel disappointed with somebody who won't listen while I am talking. Personally, I hated people who never know the basic of good listening skills, in order for you to become a good speaker you should be a good listener first. So when I am talking to another person and noticed his or her disinterest I will move forward and never talk to that person again. It's so hard to carry out the conversation with somebody who never bothers to listen. It's a huge insult in my part.

Thanks joyce. It is really important to listen when somebody is talking so that you will be able to understand and get the message that he is trying to relay to you.

I get fed up if i am talking to someone and they do not listen to what i have to say.If they tend to not listen to me i tend not to listen to them that way they know what it feels like,also i tend not to bother to make a conversation with them as it is a waste of time.

That is also I want to do if somebody won't listen to me. I would not talk to him/her anymore. He/she will be wasting my time. And maybe I would feel him the same whenever he will be the one talking to me. I will do the same as he did to me, so that he can realize.

If someone ignores you intentionally then certainly it's very annoying and insulting as well. Especially if the person is a stranger. Sometimes people do react that way. Trying to dismiss other person by not hearing what he/she is saying. This certainly bring anger but that doesn't solve the problem. It's a ridiculous situation. I really feel insulted if anyone does something like that to me.

We really have the same feelings. I also feel insulted and angry with that person and I would go for revenge (joking).

In order to have an effective communication it should have the person talking and the listener. If somebody is talking the other person must listen so that the message delivered can be heard and understood.

I agree with you. When you are in a crowd, you don't expect a hundred percent response from somebody whom you are talking with. If the topic really needs an important reply then do it in a private area so you can express all your thoughts.

Sorry, what was that? I wasn't listening... Only joking! Sometimes, I worry that people aren't listening to what I say. But that's really their loss - I have enough confidence in myself to know that I have something relevant to contribute (most of the time)! I probably become more embarrassed when I know that people ARE listening...

yes it might be their lost. i agree with you. that is why we need to listen whenever somebody is talking because we might be also embarrassed when we are the one talking also.

Hi Rosey, No friend no such event has taken place with me so far. But if it were to hap[pen I do not know what would be my reaction. I am usually a short tempered person. and if i found some body not listening to me I would surely thrash his/her. But this is better not to talk if any one is not listening to you properly.

If somebody doesn't like listening to me I'd rather not share or talk to him anymore. It's useless and waste of time.

Most of the time, when I am with my friends, I talk rubbish and can hardly expect others to listen to that. When I am in an office or at my house I act much more matured and people really listen to my opinion and advise. Dual personality, right in front of you.

Ya, I also face this kind of problem. I will feel sad, but I will not show it out, and secret it in my opaque heart. but, i will continue to be friend with that person, if that person do not repeat the same thing next times.

Maybe they are talking happily that ignore you.Maybe they don't like the topic you choose,maybe your topic is too hard to response.or maybe you can choose other person to listen to you.Anyway,it is really impolite to ignore other people.

Thank you for sharing your opinion. It is not really good to ignore somebody talking. maybe the person you are talking did not hear what you are talking or he/she doesn't like the topic you are discussing to him, so ii depends on the situation.

It depends on people, my mood and the importance of the topic what I am saying. When it is just matter of my personal which is very important and when someone doesn't listen to it I really feel bad. I think why he/she is not listen to it ?? Is it so useless to him/her ?? Else I try to adjust by changing the topic or remain quiet.

When the time that I was a leader in our feasibility study there are some of my group mates which is not my friends who don't listen to me and do not do what task I told them to do. I easily get mad because feasibility is very stressful to me and my sleep is maximum of 2-3hours sometimes I don't sleep anymore and then my group mates didn't do anything. So I told them that if they will not follow me and listen to me then get the hell out of my group... haha just kidding I told them that they are free to find some other group because I don't want to get mad again if they do the same again.
