How My Life Would Be Different If I Had Better Listening Skills
Hearing is the act of perceiving sound by ear. Listening is something you consciously choose to do. There have been plenty of times when I ramble on and on about nothing, but when it's someone else's turn to speak, I lose focus. Don't get me wrong, I don't do it on purpose, it's as if my brain can't sit still. Why should I expect people to listen to what I have to say when I can't do the same? It comes off as selfish whenever people are talking to me and I zone out, even after they've sat there for 10 minutes listening to me. It's the same with everybody: friends, family, even teachers! At first, I thought I was being selfish, then later on I realized that I don't listen the same as everyone else, I listen better when I'm distracted.
