Why do people do that?

Have you ever been talking to someone... and maybe you're telling them how you feel about something...or maybe about a self realization, and they say, "Oh stop..." in the middle of your conversation. 

Why? 

Why do they have to be so dismissive?  I'm being heart felt and they are blowing me off.

Maybe it's that I kid too much or that I am too sarcastic.  Then on the rare occasion that I do get real (as they say on the Real World) people think I'm mocking something and they just want to brush me aside.  Or maybe it's because I'm right and they don't want to tell me that.  Perhaps, (and this is my favorite) they just don't give a damn, and while I am finding fault with myself they'd rather I just stop.

For what ever reason, I really would rather not be dismissed when I am trying to tell someone how I feel about something in particular.  I would rather that they just listen and have true interest....but I guess that's too much to ask of some people.



It's the world we live in...
       
           If it's unpleasant...you don't want to hear it.  

                                If it's not about you...you don't care.
