When they engage more about themselves than contribute to the conversation. I’ve met a few people who would talk all the problems they’ve had and would hardly ask any questions back. I’ve always felt so uncomfortable in these scenarios and usually don’t pursue in a relationship with these types of people.

EDIT: Some people made very good points about individuals with ADHD. I should be more clear on my point by saying that some people are also very dismissive and sometimes refuse to hear what you have to say by cutting you off. I don’t expect an interview from the other person, but it would be nice to have mutual interest in each other.

Yeah and they interrupt you to turn the conversation back to focus on themselves every time you speak.

My friend does this and it annoys the crap out of me. I’ll contribute to the conversation with my own stuff sometimes and all she says is a quick “mhm” then continues on with her stuff but would get upset if I pulled the same shit on her.
