I've often found with relatives/friends that they'll talk about stuff that is trivial to the point of me wanting to smack myself on the head with a 2 by 4, then (finally) end up asking, "Look, what's really going on with you?". I used to have a real "I don't give a shit about your problems" attitude to this, but as I get older (and closer to people), I tend to engage with people a lot more, even if it does drive me nuts at times.
