How to learn not only to listen, but also to hear?
How often do we hear the phrase "You can't hear me", or "Hear me, please"?
When we communicate, we listen to each other, but often do not hear what our interlocutor wants to say, because they are fixated on their own interests, careless in communication and unable to understand the inner world of the other.
This deprives our relationship of true intimacy and depth.
Listening and hearing are two different skills. And the ability to hear is not given to everyone. It's a kind of talent, a quality that helps.
Communication is always a two—way process, because attention to a person, interest in his point of view, gives us interest in ourselves, a feeling of happiness. Thus, we not only increase our work efficiency, become socially successful, but also increase our own sense of satisfaction with life.
However, do you do this often? Or are you impatiently waiting for an opportunity to immediately express your opinion on this or that issue?
The thing is that we concentrate on ourselves and are silent, listening to the interlocutor only because we are simultaneously forming our own answer in our head.
