Is communication a give and take – or the art of negotiation? I think good listening is an important part of your communication skills.
However, you may be surprised that most of them focus on what they have to say, let alone what others are telling them.
In a way it is; You can’t blame others for what other people say, can you? Well, no one is asking you to do it, but what they say may depend on what you say.
Opening up to someone only happens when they’re listening carefully—like they’re genuinely interested in what’s being said. If you’re just waiting for the other person to stop so you can take care of yourself, you’re not a good listener, you’re certainly not a good communicator, and you’re probably a failure. You meet the guy; Guys – yes mostly men who will tell you his life story starting with how much money he makes.
Women need to know this style – are you kidding me? One said I can’t escape them!
Guys, if you’re going on a second date, you gotta listen – listen – listen. When you speak, make it relevant to what was just said – rather than twisting it to fit what you want to talk about, no matter what!
Listening also means watching – and speaking – paying attention to the facial expressions of the other person. Self-help psychologists advise you to do this – end the sentence with that – raise your eyebrows when speaking – maintain eye contact – everything!
The truth is that being alone is enough, don’t be someone you are not. It’s easy to see. You must waste your time with his – yes you can!
Being yourself is the kind of job that only works if you have a nice and nice personality. If you don’t have one of these, get one and get it quick. The way to do this is to listen and take an interest in the speaker and what they have to say.
I do a coffee business with nice people at church where I drink coffee. They were mostly older – not much older than me – but generally in their sixties. Of course, there are a lot of nice people drinking coffee and chatting all day and there are a few lonely people – mostly men.
However, they also have their stories, and most of them have interesting stories. Listen to them – they go out once a day and want to talk – let them and listen and learn.
For others, those who are neutral on the quality issue will not understand if you do not listen to them, and whoops – before you know it you will be your own person and leave for once. The day is heard.
Best of all – Sure it’s difficult at times – but always worth it, here’s the bonus – if you’re a good listener, you’ll have more work to do in writing.
