listen

After a common yet interesting observation today, a thought came to my mind.

Sometimes when someone is sharing to a group of about 20, if the person speaks too softly or for too long, some people start to lose their attention.
Sometimes the person talking just don't know when to stop, but worse still, how to speak clearly. But that's not anybody's fault actually, communicational skill can and should be practised.

Anyway, this is the scenario: Girl sharing to a group, talked for too long.

Observation: Some of the people who were listening got bored and started looking around, doing other stuff; However, some continued to pat attention to what the girl was saying.

Thought: How sweet of those who continued listening to the girl even when she was talking for too long and probably boring them. But surely some bored ones might had lost attention earlier but decided to show focus to the girl talking. These people probably didn't already know what was going on, but afterward tried or pretended to pay attention.
Can I say that such people were being nice to the girl? They tried to continue listening because they cared for her feelings.
Or can I call them hypocrites? Because they pretended.
