Why do people sometimes do this? Break off into side convos when you're speaking? Like in a group setting?

[Anonymous]

Is it disrespectful or just something that people do

[ohsheeT]

Sometimes probably people don't even know that they're doing it they remember something in a spear of the moment and they say hey this is what I wanted to say to you I forgot all about it they don't mean anything by it I don't think

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Not sure what you mean, example please

[Asker]

Like I am sharing my point in a group setting and while I am talking suddenly some of the others break off into side conversations.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Ah... Well, ignoring is obviously uncourteous then

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

As for the why... If we assume they're doing it on purpose it's quite terrible, but it could be just bubbly people as well?

[Asker]

The thing is i noticed they only did it to me.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

hmmm would you say you often have difficulties to capture people's attention?

[Asker]

I mean this is the second time it happened to me. So I'm not sure are people underestimating me?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I wouldn't go as far as underestimating, no no, it's just that some people are better than others at knowing when and how one should talk, in a group, to be listened to

[jahaims]

It means you are boring

[Asker]

And you are very rude.
