When we are chit-chatting with the people whom we’re close to, we may find ourselves invested and focused on what they have to say.   As for me, I personally am interested when my friends talk about something new or a news that they’ve found out recently that I myself would relate to.

It could make us think about having to avoid it politely.  As a good conversationalist, we have our moral values despite our dislikes, we still make considerations for others’ feelings.
