And as we age, that attention span continues to decrease. Early dementia and Alzheimer's decreases it further. Instead of anger, respond with sympathy.

It’s different if somebody has a disability but I believe in most of these cases people just have bad manners!

Changes in social behavior is one of first signs of onset of both dementia and alzheimers

I got tired of this happening and once confronted the person. I said "Excuse me, I was still talking to you." She said, "But I was through listening."

I'd find someone else to talk to who values me more. Sorry if this is making light of your problem, that's not my intention, but rude is rude and walking away like that is just rude. And ignorant.

Depending on who it is would determine how I would handle it.

I wished I had the courage to walk away from people talking to me that had horrid halitosis! LOL

I would write them off as someone who wasn't worth my time.

if you were talking to someone and right in mid-sentence they turned away and started talking to someone else or just walked away from you?

I'm used to people turning away & talking to someone else. I finally quit talking. If nobody wants to hear it then why bother? No skin off my a**.
