Art of Listening....



How would you like to be better with conversations and have friends and girls enjoy talking with you more?

How many times does someone tell you their name and a second later you forget it?

How many times does someone tell you something then shortly after they have to tell you the same thing?

Well you've heard it time and time again: Listen!

You may think you are listening to them and holding on a good conversation but odds are you really aren't processing what the person is saying unless you ACTIVELY LISTEN AND PROCESS what they are saying.

It is so rare that people do this that when you actually do it, it makes a difference and people can tell.

99.9% of the time we are thinking about what WE are going to say, rather than what the other person is saying.

One of the biggest things I've learned that has led to my success socially is that people love talking about things they are passionate about or have a view on. This could be a favorite sports team, a hobby, a current event, or any number of things.

After enough practice actively listening you will be able to easily identify topics that you should cherry-pick and will be able to easily thread conversations.

Even the shyest person opens up when they are talking about something they enjoy. From then on, YOU'RE IN!

Whether you actively listen when talking to friends, girls, or new people you meet, people will enjoy talking to you and having someone actually listen and be interested in what they are saying.
