Listen carefully & ask questions before telling your own experiences

Listening
Great ideas on how to truly listen. I find myself always looking to add to the conversation. By actively listening it is truly all about them! I bet I will really find out so much more about the true person. Thanks for the advice.

Importance of understanding
I continue to forget about the importance of listening, with the sole intent of understanding the other party. Will continue to practice.

Meeting new people
I learned to listen not only to just reply, but to understand. You only realize how many people actually want to speak when you give them the opportunity to by asking more questions. Get to know someone by inquiring more and being interested.

I was taught that letting the other person helps you and the person cause they talk about things maybe someone wouldn’t ask and you get t know more about them

Thank you
This one made sense. I so often want to share my experience within a conversation with someone. It's important to listen to hear and understand. I will try to implement this tact into my daily life. It's important for me to listen and truly understand what's being said, sometimes it's not always what's meant. Listening can be the best Medicine for a friend or loved one. Thank you!

Two ears to listen twice as much
I learned that I need to practice hearing others and what they are telling me instead of overlaying their words with my input on the situation. I need to be a better listener and inquire more about others.

Listen
Active listening will help build relationships. Really engage with the other person and show you care about what they have to say. Refrain from talking about yourself unless asked.

Eyeopening
I’ve never noticed how I always tend to butt in with my own stories in the middle of someone else’s story until now...and I just found it really eyeopening.

Listening.
I wait my turn to talk. Going forward I will ask more and listen more. My talking and filling in the gaps hasn’t helped me as I’d liked it to have. But I’ve learned the hard way from it.

Something to try
I feel like I just never take the time to listen to people, and I’ve never really stopped to think about it until now. I feel that it’s going be a challenge to learn to listen instead of just focusing on what I have to say. However I hopefully will be more aware of this in future.
