Do you know a person in your life that communication is a obstacle?
I know someone close to me, and it appears that their brain is always multitasking, to the point that when you talk to them, you know and can tell by their response[if any] that they were only half way paying attention.
Anyone else ever experienced this?

Yeppers have known a few and still do.. it can get friggin annoying.. and more times than not its just being rude...so I make SURE a person is listening to me before I start talking to them...and I listen when someone is talking and yanno whatfunny about some of those type of people?? if you ignored them they would get damn pissy about it..  I know there are some who just dont pay attention too..or they wonder off mentally but Im talking about those that have no reason to act as they do except being totally self centered... goes for those that talk over you too arghh

That happens to me, but it's not that I'm not paying attention...it's that I think a million thoughts a minute. It's part of having bipolar disorder. It's not that I mean to make people think I wasn't paying attention, but sometimes I am thinking more than one thing at once...I can't help it.

Oh I know. And yeah there are people who do it just to be rude....I have a friend like that, and my sister does it while she's texting. It's really annoying.

My daughter is actually like that. I worry about it, too. Her mother has ADHD, and I just don't know if it's genetic, or not. SHE would sometimes do it in the middle of a conversation. Suddenly, the lights would go out, and only half or less of her focus was on me. But my girl will space out so bad, at times, that I have to do the ol' snap the fingers in her face to get her to concentrate.

Hey ND, have you had her checked by a dr? School's won't diagnose anymore, they want the dr to have first shot at it. You can have a Connor's evaluation filled out by her teacher and yourself if you want. It may give you a better idea of what is going on. Ask the counselor at school.
Sometimes I find it hard to express myself about important things in a relationship. Maybe it's because I'm a shallow person. I don't know for sure.

Sometimes I communicate too well. I need to be more tactful at times. It's difficult for me to put myself in someone else's shoes. Mine fit so well, yanno?

Hey natsdad, my daughter, especially in elementary school, often would space out & her teachers would say it was like she was in a whole other world. No disorders or anything, but she's also very creative & artistic (you know what they say about artists). But somehow, even tho she would daydream . . . if the teacher called on her to participate or answer a question, my daughter would know exactly what they were doing in class & could answer. It amazed some of her teachers. She is still that way sometimes, yet just a little "nudge" & she's back on earth. LoL 
As for communication in friendships/relationships, I think it's very important . . . but it's also important to know who to communicate with at what times AND with what info. Some people use no discretion & talk about everything to everyone . . . BAD IDEA!!

so let me ask a question, is it more rude to turn your head and show you arent really interested in the conversation...or say STFU??? I do this to my husband, when we are having the same conversation for the 10th time while im trying to read or am engaged in something else. He does the same to me...especially when hes watching a game. Neither of us take it to heart, its just an indirect way of saying "not right now." If it is something that one of us feels strongly about, we indicate that before the conversation even starts....if he still turned his head away id probably have to just slap him back into place

Thanks, signme and oct_cat for the advice. She is VERY creative, but usually in her own little world. I have talked to her teacher about it, but she doesn't do it much in class. I will look into the Connor's eval. I haven't heard of that.
Thanks again.

How important is comunication in your friendships/relationships? It's basic to be clear wih everyone firndship or relationship.....
For many reasons not always it is easy frankly speaking and this involves misunderstandings and misunderstandings
In this period I'm in a difficulty with a dear friend....I think to have said to him everything and now I'm tired to talk again .....however I feel that something is not right as I'd wish......

I think it's really important. I'm a talker. I talk about everything. I appreciate it when whomever I'm with talks too. I can't stand it when people keep everything inside and don't talk about anything.

Like Fender.. I am a talker.. but I have learned(well maybe still learning) that sometimes it's just better to keep my yap shut until the time is right
He is learning to talk a little more about things that need to be said.. so communication between us is really good.
I have been in a marriage where he did not communicate AT ALL about anything.. that (and the fact he wanted to screw everything on two legs) was the reason I divorced him. Lack of communication leaves the door wide open for misunderstandings and mistakes.
I have a hard time understanding how some couples stay together for YEARS without communicating their needs, wants and desires.  That, to me, is just existing. If I am going to be in a relationship.. it's going to be fun, flirty, loyal and open. If he can't talk to me outside of the bedroom then I doubt much will be going on inside of the bedroom
So....I reckon you could say communication is vitally important to me.. not only in my relationship but also my friendships. I place a LOT of value on my friendships and I expect that I will get what I give... communication, loyalty and trust.
