Ever talk to someone and realize they’re not really listening — they’re just waiting their turn to speak?
Ever done that to someone else...?
Yeah. That’s not real listening.
Real listening has two goals:
🧠 To truly understand the other person, and
💡 To have them feel understood.
That second part matters.
You might get what they're saying, but that doesn't mean they feel gotten.
And until they feel heard, the tension stays high and the connection stays low.
✨ Try mirroring:
“Here’s what I think you're saying — did I get that right?”
It’s simple. It’s effective. It changes the conversation.
💭 When was the last time you felt truly understood?
