    It's probably because they are boring you to death and their conversation is meaningless, stupid chit chat...... I bet if they were interesting you would start talking to them...

    I do this all the time. Mainly because the person was boring me to tears, or because they said what they had to say in the first two sentences and then began repeating/rephrasing the same thing for the next ten minutes. I just smile, nod, and make the occasional agreeing noises, then just wander away without further comment when they stop to take a breath.

    Nervous Disorder? I do it too. Just smile nod and act like you know whats going on. lmao. But seriously, talk to your doctor about it and see what he puts you on. Could be ADD meds or Anxiety.
