Challenging to listen to someone talk for long periods

Kenny_1622

I work in education, and we have events which means people are talking about boring stuff for hours. I find it really challenging to listen to it especially any longer than 30 mins, I feel overwhelmed and over loaded with information and feel burnt out. So I need to take regular breaks inorder to recharge and clear my head. Does anyone else get this

  • I've developed a way of looking interested without actually hearing what's being said, I just let it pass through one ear and out the other, whilst still being able to repeat the last thing the person said if I'm challenged about my attention, I use the time to think about something else, I bet most of the other people in the room are doing the same.

    Whar sort of role do you have?
