“Listen. Don’t compete.”
One of the biggest mistakes people make while communicating is this:
They don’t listen to understand… they listen to reply.
The moment someone starts sharing their story, pain, struggle or happiness, we interrupt with:
“Oh that happened to me too…”
“Same! Even I…”
“Let me tell you what happened with me…”
And suddenly, the conversation becomes about us.
Not every moment needs your relevant story.
Sometimes people are not looking for competition, comparison or advice.
They are simply looking for a listener.
Good communication is not about speaking the most.
It’s about making the other person feel heard.
