<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

I don't think he does it intentionally. But today I realized this relationship may only be hurting me.

So I was hanging out with a friend today, a guy I had met only a couple weeks prior. He's a really great guy, 5 years older, knowledgeable, kind, and understanding. He was helping me to prepare for an interview tomorrow, as I get really nervous about these things and he wanted to help.

We eventually got slightly side tracked, as he doesn't know me too well and so I started telling more about myself. I was telling a story when suddenly I stopped and said "Sorry i'm like going on about nothing, I don't think you really care to hear all this nonsense" and I quickly changed the subject. But he interrupted and said "Wait what?! Of course I want to hear." and I didn't really know what to say. I honestly have never been stopped like that and had someone genuinely say they want to hear some random, unimportant story that was honestly about nothing big.

That got me thinking. I realize that my boyfriend doesn't actually let me tell stories, or tell him about my day or really anything. I tried telling him just earlier about how I'm no longer stressed and glad I have a good friend to help me, and he completely ignored the comment and went on to talking about his day. Literally he completely ignores texts that aren't about him, and if we're in person/on the phone, he'll tend to ignore anything I say that isn't about him.

And just a few minutes ago I got a text from my friend telling me that I close up too easily, and I should learn to be more open and it will help with my interview and future job. I realized that this guy, someone who hardly knows me and really isn't too invested in my life actually cares more about me, my future, and my past than my boyfriend does.

So reddit, sorry this was long, but is this relationship really hurting me? Should I break it off? I've tried talking to my boyfriend before about his lack of listening, but again...he doesn't listen at all. Please help :<
<bot>: Boyfriend never listens, only talks about him, my friend today made me realize that I close up really easily and no longer want to talk about myself because I've started thinking anything I say is uninteresting.
