BLOCKS TO LISTENING
• Never compare yourselfconstantly comparing yourself to the other person, checking to see if you measure up in terms of intelligence, wit, emotional stability, competence, or even level of suffering or children's achievements.
• Mind Readingwhat you think someone "really means" (based primarily on your own feelings, assumptions, or hunches) than to what he or she is actually saying.
• Rehearsingplanning your response to what someone is saying to you while the other person is still speaking.
• Filteringtuning out certain topics or you may hear only certain things and tune everything else out, any possible hint of unhappiness, no matter what he actually says.
You talk th
ey listen
• Judgingif you decide ahead of time that the other person is not worth hearing (because he or she is "stupid," "crazy,"'"hypocritical," or " immature"), and that you will therefore listen only in order to confirm your opinion.
• Dreamingyou pay only a fraction of your attention to the person talking; inside, your thoughts are wandering elsewhere.
• identifyingwhatever you hear from the other person triggers memories of your own similar experiences, and you can't wait to.jump into your own story.
• AdvisingJumping in with advice when the other person has barely stopped talking (or before)
Keen look on your communication
• SparringIf you listen only long enough to find something to disagree with, and then assert your position-—regardless of what the other person says.
• Being RightIf you want to prove that you're right or to avoid the suggestion that you're wrong— including lying, shouting, twisting the facts, changing the subject, making excuses, and accusing
• Derailingchanging the subject or make a joke whenever you become bored or uncomfortable with the conversation.
• Placatingbeing so concerned with being nice, agreeable, or liked that without really listening you agree with everything being said.
Be active and attentiveThe process of
recognizing, understanding, and
accurately interpreting communicated messages
and responding to spoken and/or nonverbal
messages.
