Does anyone else struggle to concentrate in a conversation?

Jordan

I feel like I can't concentrate on what someone is saying to me about anything unless I'm really interested, I was on the phone with someone talking about issues and what problems and questions I had, and I could not concentrate for the life of me and I only bearly only heard a bit of what they were saying, so it's pretty one sided 

I don't know if the person I was talking to had the same problem but I feel rude to ask them to repeat it as they were talking for ages

  • I try - but find I struggle to really 'hear'/process what someone is saying, and react to it. 

    I find free flowing conversation extremely difficult/impossible, and get anxious about  trying to get something in myself (usually I have to try and 'plan'/list things to talk about before speaking to someone) - and am so focused on trying to find a way to get the thing I want too say in somehow, i can't relax until I've  found a ay to say my piece.

    And then I quickly get anxious because  I have nothing left to say anyway, just simple yes/no/ok type responses...
