Something I have caught myself doing over the past year is when someone is trying to speak to me and I either don't care about it or lose interest I tend to walk away without saying anything. Most times it happens is with people I don't know or co-workers trying to make small talk.
The most recent example would be last Saturday. A friend of mine and I went to a sports bar/restaurant to watch the Detroit Tigers. At some point in the night some random woman came up to me and started talking with me about stuff. At some point I got tired of what she was talking about and just walked off and started to speak with my friend instead.
My friend told me that the woman looked really hurt and that I should apologize but I didn't. I just didn't want to potentially cause a scene of her yelling at me and having attention drawn to myself. That was the last time I did it though mainly because I haven't been in any conversations that involved small talk or stuff I don't care about.
Does anyone here do similar stuff?
