little about Listening



When do you usually hear someone without properly listening to him/her?

Usually I hear someone without listening to him/her when I’m busy with my work, when  people are talking close to me, when I’m sleepy, bored and bad mood, and when what the someone talking is not interest me.
For example, my friends and I do homework together, I’m focus on laptop and when they ask me something, I’m not directly respond them , they should touch me first, so I’m aware and I ask them to replay their questions.
Also, when I sit alone in public place, there are many people that they are talking around me, I’m not pay attention to them and I won’t know what they are talking about.
My mood also affected my listening, for example when I join in a discussion that take time about 2 hours, for first time it works well after that my soul is not there J, sleepy and bored kill my spirit.
The last, when my friends are talking about the celebrity, ninety percent it’s not interest me to pay attention because I don’t know who they are talking and what for they are talking it.
There are examples that I hear but I’m not listening for some reasons on my way.




When you're listening to the story that you have already familiar with, what types of listening are involved in that case?

The type of that case is appreciative listening, based on my experience when I’m listening the familiar story, I’m more enjoy it and can understand the story chronologically, maybe I’m not curios about that, but I try to find something new in the same thing. Maybe how people deliver the story is different and it’s most interest me than before. For the first maybe we think “oh, it’s same story”, but then we will see the difference that make us pay more attention and for myself, listening the familiar story is easily way to improve our listening skill J.
