For me it’s am occupational hazard. I am in sales and sales training and I consistently am teaching my people to listen, really listen to the prospect, they will tell you how they want you to sell them.
Does this mean I used in my marriage? Obviously not. If I had I’m not sure I would be here.
There is another aspect of listening and that is trust or better yet a lack of trust. For us to really listen we have to believe what we are hiring and mostly we don’t. We don’t believe our politicians, TV ads, sales people (Hehehehe) our parents lied to us. Did you really believe that someone put a cradle in a treetop? And if you did, how did feel when you figured out that you were being lying to all this time? It goes on Santa, Tooth fairy, Easter bunny. We are a society of non believers i.e. don’t believe anything you read and only half of what you see.
If we by our very nature and our life experience we can not believe that we are being told the truth then we can never truly listen.

it is like talking at somone,when you should be talking to them
there is a differt but some people do not know how they are differt.
when someone is talking to you and you are waiting to talk to them
you are not really listening to them,listening to them is clearing your mind of all thoughts but only what they are saying
than once they are done than you can say what you want to say to them.listening is just listening to what they is saying to you,not waiting to say something back to them

What is listening? Taking the cotton out of your ears and sticking it in your mouth.
There are lots of times i'm already thinking what i can say. And ya, i interrupt sometimes too
Listening, really listening is very hard. There are not many people who can do it.

I would like to think that I listen, but I'm probably guilty of waiting to talk more often than not.
