Listening is not an easy skill for most of us. Great listeners are not thinking of a reply while the other person is talking.
Great listeners allow the other person to finish talking completely. Silence is your friend, in all conversations. Talking less and listening more and allowing for moments of silence improve the quality of conversations. Take a 2 sec break between responces and see for your self. https://tinyurl.com/y4kropz2 I love you I'm Dan Clark
