Do We Really Take Time to Listen?

So many times we do not listen to what others.  We will often give an answer but is it the right answer? Most people, for instance , will ask  “How are you?” and it is a polite way to say hello but they don’t really want to know how you feel. If you proceed to tell them how you feel in stead of answering “fine” as most do they won’t even listen to you.  They don’t even really care . You should take time to really listen to how a person feels or don’t ask. One time a person asked me how I was and instead of the usual ” I’m fine” I answered “Ifeel terrible” and their res;ponse was “that’s good”  Later they realized the mistake.

Some people will ask you something but they really don’t want to know what you think or feel.  This is just polite conversation.  Most of the time people are so preoccupied with their own thought they don’t really listen to what you have to say.  You can tell if a person is really listening is by how they respond to your answers. A lot of the time people will cut you off short to what you are saying because they don’t really want to know what you have to say or you are long winded.

When you are talking to someone you should be polite enough to listen to the whole thing they are saying.  People do have feelings and we should not be rude to other people. 

My brother went to a psycloigist once and he kept talking and ever so often the man nodded and said “that’s good” amd when he said he was going to smash his head with something and kill himself  he had the samy response.  Be careful of how you answer someone if you are not listening.
