My friends have often complained about me being the world's worst listener.
Here's what happens:
I want to also speak while you are speaking.
I think my story is more interesting.
I am not interested in listening to your story.
If you think I'm listening but my eyes are looking right next to your face, I am probably pretending to listen to your story,
I am counting the number of times you say 'like' in your story.
And wondering how long it took for us to evolve from apes.
I'm crossing off my to-do list in my mind.
And thinking about what I'm going to eat 20 minutes later.
The truth is...
