Is it normal to hate when people try to have long conversations.

Sometimes, I feel like people are only trying to help. But when your a person who does not need any help, it becomes extremely annoying. They ask ridiculous questions and ramble on about absolutely nothing and I just want to walk away, or say shut-up, but I have more patience than that. It's just I feel like I'm being evaluated and it makes me wonder why they try to waste my time so.

Is it normal to feel this way, or am I just being rude?

    Totally normal, especially family... My grandmother especially is guilty of this. Usually, her conversations are about how I need to go to college, even though she fails to recognize the accomplishment that I'm already a college graduate at 18. It's pretty annoying. So, normal!

    I'm gonna to scream "NORMAL!" to this. I have a friend who is like that. He is a clingy, and whining to me about what's going on his life. It's mostly lies, but at least all I can do is to listen and snickers from the inside without let him find out. Pretty much to keep him talking the only thing I can do is say no more than 5 words when he run out of something to say.

    Long conversations about nothing are unnecessary and boring - you're normal.

    Long conversations could get boring. If you don't like the convo just change it. Or say " hey thanks for all your help but I got to go, I planned something with a friend and it's about that time. We can finish this up later if that's okay with you, Thanks" be polite about it and/or just tell her the truth, whichever works for you.

    you have to be careful what you say to some people, because if you present one of your issues to them, they might think you want to talk something out.

    when you aren't in the mood to talk, yes, it is annoying.

    i don't think you are rude.

    Well, if people are trying to "fix" you and there's nothing broken, it's understandable that you might feel a bit annoyed. Is there any reason for them to think that something may be wrong? They probably care about you and aren't sure how to help, so they resort to attempting to talk things out - which ends up with them asking funny questions and rambling on.

    I do the long conversation thing a lot, especially with my little brother. Not necessarily to help people though - just because I enjoy talking at times.

      I don't like talking to them. It's not that I don't like them, in fact I would find it much easier to love them if they never came around. I'm just weird in that way. They think I'm withdrawn, with which I can agree, I just take all my thoughts out on paper or on here because it's more comfortable.

        Actually, I understand completely. I said that I do long conversations a lot, but that's by my standards and mostly with my kid brother, so that doesn't really count, heh. Not everyone likes to air out their insides with a good, deeply analysing heart to heart. Being withdrawn is normal. You'd only be rude if you said "shut up" to their face. I'm sure that everyone gets these sorts of feelings from time to time.
