I try my best to be present and to pay attention but, quite honestly, I'm not always successful. I've become somewhat used to people not fully paying attention to me, although it's a pet peeve. I have a hearing issue which makes it difficult to tell how loudly I'm speaking (especially in noisy situations) so I tend to undercompensate sometimes and speak too softly. I have to constantly remind myself that this is sometimes the reason people aren't fully paying attention.
