When I talk to others I do a lot of different things.
Sometimes I listen very carefully or I just do not even pay attention. For me, I
think it depends on the type of conversation and what else is on my mind and
going on with myself at the moment. When I am having a conversation and I am
fully engaged in it, I am listening to what they are saying and I think of my
own ideas or what I could say next to keep the conversation going. When I am
having a conversation and I am not paying attention, everything is going in one
ear and out the other. Although I am not
fully engaged and paying attention I do not lead that on to the person I am
talking to because I do not want to be rude. When I pay full attention and am
engaged in a conversation I can pretty much write down everything that person
told me. I am able to do that because I have a very good memory and if I put my
full attention into something I will almost always remember it. On the other
hand, when I am not really listening while in a conversation I would not be
able to write down what they said because I did not listen to what they were
saying.
Your post was pretty chill because I agree with you on the fact that being engaged in a conversation allows you to really understand what the person is talking about. Depending on the conversation I am the same way. If something is interesting to me then I will be able to pay attention and write everything that they said down once their done speaking. But, if I do not care about what they are saying it is very easy for me to doze off and completely forget what they were talking about. Either way it is important to listen when others are speaking! Good post, easy to relate to!
