Everyone's got their own problems. When they're done dealing with people (even trivial like just talking), that's less problems for them and that's why few people are investing their limited time on you. In their eyes, why should they care whether they fully understood you or not, they don't have any drawbacks usually.

I bet. It's hard to make friends with people on a day-to-day basis unless you have a job like me. My boss is really nice and so are my coworkers but that's it.
