It is so human to want and need to be actively listened to and understood, and because of this we are often driven very strongly to get other people to understand our own pain or where we are coming from. Ironically, when we seek to understand the other person's emotions or point of view first, we are most often rewarded with the attention and understanding we sought out in the beginning, only it is so much better as it was authentic and unsolicited.
