Im facing this obstacle right now in my quest of becoming better socially, i recognize this is a KEY factor in beign more succesfull, but im having problems achieving it, any advice?, tips?, anything that helps?.

I care about other people, but somehow i find it hard to listen to what they care about, or say, for example just now my mother was talking to me and i just got very anxious to go back to my mind, and this happens with all people when they say something that doesnt link with my interest. It may be because im allways busy interally, allways thinking in things that interest me... so when someone comes with something else, it pushes me away from what I want... any ideas on how to overcome this more easely?.
