I had a good friend at my old job who was really good at communicating efficiently and he made an observation once, I wish I could remember the exact wording, about people whose idea of conversation is to just wait unti the other person stops talking and say whatever they are going to say.

I mean everybody does that to some extent but shouldn't be the whole shebang.

Starting not to remember whether I did that game or not on a given day.

people who can bring people along with them in a conversation are truly marvelous

sometimes i feel like i'm doing that but then my fantasy is deflated because inevitably someone's eyes glaze over or they ask a question that's basically like "what are you talking about again?"

something to do with my tone of voice and delivery i think, it gets vague and/or hectoring too easily

I can more often than not capture people’s attention when I am ceded the floor, but in many other situations there seems to usually be some anxious blowhard who must have to hear the sound of their own voice every few seconds or they will die which tends to mean game over.

I also don't care what people are watching, for similar reasons mentioned. There are some shows that I watch/binge obsessively, others that I go through slowly, and still others where I am not committed enough to move through them in an expedient way.

Also generally, tho, I haven't seen many of the shows that people talk about a lot— never seen an episode of The Sopranos, nor Mad Men...watched one season of Breaking Bad. I just don't find even the idea of these shows compelling enough to want to watch them. I have books to read, my man.

Here's one: Podcasts
I don't care about them, at all. I don't listen to them and don't care to.
i have one friend that gets upset that I don't watch shows she suggests, and I'm like....do I *have* to watch the shows you like? Like, why is it important that we watch exactly the same things? we have plenty of things to bond over.
and frankly, it feels like homework at that point.

All of the "business" aspects of sports. Don't care about trades or, worse yet, POSSIBLE trades, don't care about someone's contract, TV ratings/contracts. Seems like this shit gets discussed way more than the actual games, strategy, etc.

Some white people may choose 👍 because it feels neutral — but some academics argue opting out of 👍🏻 signals a lack of awareness about white privilege, akin to society associating whiteness with being raceless.https://t.co/9g3rochT0K— NPR (@NPR) February 9, 2022

The Oscars, Grammys, award shows in general are at the top of my Dont Care list. It makes me a little sad that they get such massive coverage.
