Hey! Are you listening to me?

I always try to listen to other people, unless it's someone I have a hidden dislike for. I try to ask questions, and also balance the conversation by injecting (interesting) stuff about me of stuff that I know if it can be related to what the person is talking about.

I think I am pretty aware of how a conversation goes, and I always want to avoid a one-sided conversation (whether it's me talking or the other person), unless the other person just needs someone to listen to his/her problems. I've been told once that I was a good listener which was nice.

But like Devoxy said, the one time where I can really lose grip on a conversation is when a woman goes all the way out when critiquing other women (or just anything sometimes). I try to avoid it, but after a while I can really feel my thoughts drifting

Jam it back in, in the dark.
