people relate to each other through series of human characteristics and speech is one of them, and since people's characteristics varies....a person might be intrigued by one person and might feel completely tuned out or bored by another person

I think it is because of information overload and depending on your life style, what time of day it is, what kind of mood you are in, and the hectic pace you are running or not running allows you to listen or not listen. For example, you start off the day looking at e-mail. One includes a crisis that you need to take care of. As you start to take care of it, your supervisor knocks on the door with another crisis. Just then, you get a call from home asking you to take care of three things. You bump into a colleague and she complains about how you treated her the day before, and there you go. You're dealing with more than the brain is equipped to handle. Instead of operating efficiently, the brain goes into survival mode. When we are relaxed and not focused on anything in partiuclar we tend to listen better.

Many things. I will tune people out if I do not respect them, or if I believe its old information, or if Im not interested.
