We have become a nation of
interrupters as though what we have to say is more important than anyone else’s
opinion or thoughts.
Think before you speak.
If a friend is confiding in you and seeks advice, think about how what they
have said makes you feel and consider how your words can truly help them. Many
people interrupt or relate the problem back to themselves instead of
thoughtfully responding to the person who is confiding in them. Reflect on what
you have heard and then reply. This is not only basic politeness but also means
a lot to the person to whom you are listening. I guarantee you will start to
notice when you are interrupted once you have stopped. Listening is an act of
love.
