Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Then they briefly acknowledge you before returning to whatever uninteresting topic they were already discussing

The fact that you call their topic uninteresting means you don't care about others but expect them to care about you. That is you being self centered. You expect others to listen to your interests without first listening to theirs.

That means taking a real interest in their topic even if it's something stupid like sports. If you don't know enough to contribute the conversation that means you are learning something new- which is a good thing.

And just because you listened to them doesn't mean they immediately owe you to listen to you.
