They give you one-word answers
If you’re engaged in a conversation with someone, but all you’re getting is one-word replies, it might be an indication that they don’t see you as the best conversational partner out there. One-sided discussions might mean that others think that what you’re saying is disrespectful.
“Adding depth to answers allows for a conversation to build and continue,” according to Jennifer Brown, a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina. “If a person responds to you with answers like ‘no’ or ‘whatever,’ take that as a sign that they don’t care to extend talking time with you.”
