Would you like watching loki's final episode while hammering 3 nails on the same wall?Then why do that when in a conversation?Focus on the other person 80% of the times and on yourself 20% of the times.and NEVER on distractions. Would you feel good when you're discussing something to someone and that person opens facebook and scrolls with his earbuds on.

There was a guy. This guy gave a rose to every person who arrived at the airport. and asked for a donation to his cause. 99.9% did. maybe not happily but they did. This tells you that what you give to the world comes to you in return.
