He seriously does not listen, he lacks interpersonal skills. He has a conversations AT you, not WITH you. Is ignoring him a good idea? Or what can I possiably say, when he doesn't listen? By chance he does listen, what should I say? "Come back when you are ready to have an adult conversation."

I would ignore him until he listens to you. If he questions you about it, just tell him that he needs to include you in the conversation.

This guy sounds annoying and very much like my egocentric older brother who is 26, but has the interpersonal skills of a 6 year old. I would just interrupt him mid-conversation and "jokingly" hint to him like: "Man, are you even listening??!" and see how he responds to that!! If he still annoys you just walk away, he doesn't seem like he's worth your time anyway!

For your own health and sanity, ignore him whenever he tries to talk to you. I know a couple of people like that, and I've tried the direct approach, asking them point-blank why they seem not to want to talk to me or with me ... and it doesn't work. I don't know if they are being selfish, or if they are just that vacant up there. It would seem that by bringing it to their attention in a non-accusatory way they would stop and think ... but they seem to become defensive and argumentative. Be prepared, though, for your co-worker to either play the wounded victim, or to just not notice.
