To me, this sounds a little like 'sucking up'. I know that's not what you mean but, to me, it is still as if you need to take some value by listening to her talking about herself all the time. |
It is my belief that on a primal level, everyone craves attention.
The act of "
paying attention" to another person is just that - a payment. In effect, by paying attention to someone, you validate & affirm them, as well as encouraging them to continue to share themselves with you.

It is actually pretty telling that you need to discriminate between "being interested" and "being
genuinely interested". Think about that!
