I haven't read the rest of the thread, but yeah, one of my VERY close friends - a girl - can do that from time to time, but she does listen very well and is engaged often and definately cares for my welfare, etc. When she does that, she usually has a whole hell of alot on her mind and is really busy and is unable to talk. I totally know how you feel about 'being cut off' so to speak, especially with the one word answers, but I can see how people can do that from time to time, and to be honest; if they were perfect listeners all the time, I would be confused and question whether it was genuine.
Anyway, I totally agree with you on the intimacy that conversations can have. Those always leave you feeling great and make you not want to end them... good memories.
