I'm of an age where i just don't GAF anymore. I'll be as polite as I'd expect someone to be with me, but go much beyond that & I'll be like "welp, I gotta go - TTYL."

Same here .... I think it's an age thing. I used to be intimidated by older people who talked too long .. not intimidated by aggression or anything, just intimidated out of respect ... I was taught to always give time to your Elders, give them space and let them talk because they give wisdom and knowledge. But of course, more than half the time, it's just old person either talking to amuse themselves, or just talking just to talk with no rhyme or reason.

But once you get past a certain age ... most of everyone around you is becoming younger than you and anyone older is talking less and if they are talking, they seldom want to talk to you. So anyone who does talk to you and especially if they want to talk too long or too much, you just don't give a shit anymore and there are no more cultural rules or taboos, so you can freely cut down the length of the interaction, be polite, say you gotta go and leave. And honestly, it feels great to leave those kinds of long winded empty conversations because it feels like you just gained an hour of your day back.
