I feel like I'm not interesting enough

Seeking Empathy

I like to ramble about random things, a lot

With my friendships, I try to make it equal for both of us

I'll listen as carefully as possible to what they have to say, I'll contribute in some way

And, when it's my turn to talk, I'm only able to say a few words before I notice I'm loosing their attention

And I don't know why

People has always said that I talk too low, but even when I'm already talking, I'll still get interrupted, or they just won't say anything or contribute as much as I did, and I feel like my friends don't really care about me, sometimes, I'll be talking, and they'll be actually listening, but then we get interrupted by something or someone else, and when we're back to our conversation, they'll just stay quiet, and here's when I know if they actually cared or they were just being polite

If they tell me to go on and keep talking, that way I know they do care

And If they just stay quiet and mention a completely different thing without even mentioning that I didn't even finished talking about my thing, they I'll know they were listening or didn't cared at all
