I feel that 98% of the time I'm talking to myself.

I am in a similar situation myself.

I think sometimes we care more about the conversation and its content than NTs do. They are conversing to establish an emotional rapport, we are conversing to share and exchange information.

I always seem to talk at the exact same moment that someone else does. They seem to KNOW when to talk, I don't. I always interrupt someone, somehow, they all know that it's me interrupting, not the other person.

I seem to have this problem sometimes...depends really. I try to talk to people around me...and they just nod or give me a blank stare. Sometimes though I dont really care if they are listening and I get really playful with them and then they pay attention because they want to be happy like me (at that moment anyway).

But Nt's are simple: they pay attention to those that have something they want whether it is social status, influence, happiness, money, the latest gadgets, knowlege that benefits them dirrectly, sex or tallent. They are rather simple minded,

If you want to interest these people then you have to lure them like a carrot on a stick

Man, that happens to me all the time. I sit down for dinner with my family, and I'll be halfway through a sentence and just get cut off. Not just at home, either; in social situations too, people just interrupt me when I'm three words into a sentence.

I get really paranoid with this. I'm almost always convinced everyone secretely finds me horribly boring or annoying and is just pretending to listen to me.
