[quote=Anonymous]My dad is like this and to some extent has always been like this. He's never been the most socially adept person, and probably has grown worse at it as he ages and as Covid has imposed isolation. I think it is based in part on social anxiety -- trying to fill in silences and keeping things going and not be very flexible with where the conversation is going. Rather than trusting that there can be a true back and forth, he goes forth on a monologue, where he is least comfortable talking about a subject. He is also losing his hearing a bit but refuses to get a hearing aid. It's possible that your parents do not fully hear/understand everything you are saying, and are covering it up by going off on a topic they feel comfortable talking about. [/quote]
