Why is there so many people that have zero ability to converse two ways? Like they just want to spew everything they've been thinking about all day and think other people actually enjoy that? It's crazy. Although I guess trying to be the nice guy that has time for literally any rant, issue or benign ramble anyone wants to toss against someone doesn't help matters.

I've started becoming a little more rude and I don't want to be that way, but I've found myself more and more with people like that where I eventually kind of go "alright man, I can't do this for too long, sorry". But because I've historically been so polite I think it's throwing some people off, especially at work.

Oh man, that’s crazy.
