I pretend to listen when people talk to me, but in reality, I don't care at all.
Why don't you listen when people talk?
It's easier this way. I'm tired of listening to people complain about the same old problems.
If you're going to offer to listen to someone, you should actually be attentive. It's very rude to pretend to listen to someone. People will think you are inconsiderate and won't want to spend time with you anymore.
I don't care about that. I'm just tired of these conversations and no one will miss me.
It can be hard to be supportive all of the time. But that's what friends do for each other. They listen when things are going wrong and provide comfort and support, and it's rude to just pretend.
