Disconnects can happen the moment you look at someone. If they don't look like the way you want them to look, or if you think they don't fit "in" your group that you belong you are liable to start thinking to yourself "why are they talking to me?" "They don't know anything that I already know or I don't know" etc. Disconnects start with our attitudes and beliefs. Another way for disconnects is outside noise or other distractions going on outside of the conversation. When I catch myself not listening I try to explain to the party that I'm sorry I was distracted and I know that people do not like repeating themselves, but in order for me to know what it was they were trying to tell me I need for them to tell me again. Usually they repeat what was said because it was important to them. I try harder to listen to them the second time.
