COMMUNICATION

I live alone with somebody. We share a house. There's very little conversation unless it pertains to him. He will talk about himself for hours, or his previous life but anything i have to say goes on deaf ears! He can be looking directly at me(for two seconds) then seems to look off anywhere but at me, and no matter how plain i talk, or how loud or soft, unless i YELL, he gives me a stupid over the top of eyeglass look and says "what did you say?"..so i'm turning into a frickin parrot, repeating every sentence i say around the house. Why is it he shows NO RESPECT for me when i talk, shows no interest into anything i want to talk about. I can read articles, headlines in the daily paper, he looks at me and then gets up and walks off. ...I know the bible talks about the WORD....i think what that is that everyone should live by is COMMUNICATION! That is what is meant by the WORD. Without communication the whole world falls apart, person by person. Why is it so hard to get across to this older generation. Just makes ya want to SLAP THEIR MOTHERS!!!
Which gets me thinking of parents responsibility once they decide to have a child..but i'll save that for another day.
