Why do some people keep talking but don't listen to others while talking?

Jean Piaget wrote that we go through cognitive development stages

sensorimotor,
preoperational,
concrete operational,
formal operational.


in the second stage and this starts with children around the age of 2. the main feature of that development stage is it is ego-centered that everything revolves around the child.

if you take a 2 years old to the airport for example one of his thoughts might be those people are running around just to please him or her or he might think that all those people went through the same exact experience that made him or her travel. That could show in a form of question for example

"Are all those people traveling with us too?"

yes those people don't think like a 2 years old

yes they could be accomplished in their professions

yet they do hang to that second stage of development especially if you are talking to them about a new or unknown subject to them and again you can test this pattern in lingual ques statements like

"I am a Doctor by the way " , "Based on MY personal experience" or " that is so true it happens with ME all the time".

such statements could occur in an unrelated topic of discussion.
