When people are talking to me, for the most part I am thinking about what they are saying. Although I am listening and taking things in, it doesn’t mean I always agree with them. This may be why the S-TLC method is hard for me to follow. When I first start to listen to the other person talk, I stop and listen. Once they say something I don’t agree with, I start to drift off a little and think about how wrong I think the person is. The times I do think about my own interest is when someone is talking to and he or she is just going on and on about everything. When I feel like there is no end to the conversation I just think about my own interest and nod my head so they think I am still listening to what they are saying. When someone is talking to me about something really serious I give them my undivided attention. There is no drifting off; all my attention is on him or her for support.
I am the same as you. For the most party I am also thinking of what the other person is saying. Sometimes when I don't agree with what the other person is saying, its really hard for me to keep my mouth shut. Especially when they try to get me to think and feel the same way as they do about the subject. I also start to drift a little bit when somewhen says something I don't agree with. Sometimes when I really just don't want to hear someone's point of view on it I completely zone out. Nice post.
