Like for example, people who’ll ask how you are like 5 times in a conversation or make it about the weather. Things you know will last 2 minutes at best.

I’m asking for examples and answers. Not a stupid debate, here. Why are we complicating this?

    To me personally, it’s when the speaker clearly has no interest in the topic but still talks about it anyway for some reason (meetings, presentations etc.). In all honesty, I could listen to people who talk about a topic they’re passionate about for literal hours even if I don’t understand anything they say, but as soon as someone drones on about something they don’t actually like in a “I’m expected to say this so just get this over with” kind of way, my brain shuts off - even if it’s a topic I would normally enjoy hearing about.
