Does anyone else struggle to concentrate in a conversation?

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 got in trouble the other day. My wife was talking to me over the dinner table and I saw a pair of ring necked doves in the garden. I had never seen these birds in the garden before, so I pointed this out. Apparently, this was not the done thing, despite whatever my wife was saying being much less interesting than two very pretty members of the pigeon family making an unexpected appearance.
