Listening to each other, or just waiting your turn?
I would bet that, most never really listen to each. From my experience, (from what I've observed, and experienced) almost all conversation I have engaged in with people, just turn into a oneuping competition. People half listen, while waiting their turn to prove you wrong, or to impede their thoughts on you, just to be right, instead of actually having a therapeutic conversation, where you both walk away from it with something gained.
For the most part, it has to be blamed on ego. I've personally noticed, that it kills people's souls to be wrong about something(Haha), when in reality, it would only benefit you immensely to embrace your wrongness, and add whatever it may be to your mind archive.
One thing to help in this situation, is to understand the shear volume of things you DON'T know , in comparison to what you DO. And that there is a HUGE possibility that both people, may have come to know something that the other doesn't. Being wrong is your friend people, this is the natural process of learning.
Tell me your experiences. Does this happen to you quite often?
Perspective Warp:
Listen to one of the leading Psychology professors give a short crash course on how to actually listen to someone when they are talking to you. It's probably a lot harder than what you think it may be. The video is only 10 minutes long, so give it a watch. It'll probably sharpen you a little, and give you a little bit of a perspective warp. Lol
