My girlfriend ignores me. I don't mean she doesn't talk to me or anything, but sometimes I'll be messaging her and she'll be reading the messages, but then she'll just start talking about her own thing.

I brought it up to her, and she knows she does it sometimes. She says sometimes she intentionally does it when I try to talk about something serious because she either doesn't know what to say or just wants to avoid it. But when I just want to talk about something I'm interested in it happens sometimes. She says she believes me, but doesn't realize she does it. I know she gets excited sometimes and gets in her own little world, and I humor that, but when it happens often for weeks it kinda builds up and gets frustrating/depressing.

It's not a matter of her not respecting my taste or my interests. When she doesn't feel talkative, she'll explicitly ask me to talk about things because she does like listening to me talk passionately about things when she isn't in the mood to talk. She also always asks for movie and music recs from me, so it's not like she thinks I'm lame or anything.

I know it happens because when she gets excited, it overwhelms her thoughts and she gets in her own little world. I totally understand that, and I think it's cute. I don't want to stop her, because then I know she's just waiting for me to finish talking so she can go on. I just don't like how ignored I feel when it happens. Maybe it's not a problem of hers at all, and just me?
