Powerful! Thank you Grant! So much to think about, improve on and reread. Narcissists tend to fail to look inside and take time doing the hard work it takes to change for the better. That would mean you are excluded from that spectrum in my opinion. The attention to inattention is haunting and good to dig, dig, dig into and a bigger shovel is needed over here. Interruptions; i hate realizing it is happening and try to question the aggression and think more before speaking-doing that can interrupt listening too. Ugh! Listening is worth the work. Thank you again! Power!

Good definition of narcissist. I'll take it! And you're one of the best of the best listeners.

While taking speech class in college it came with a listening lab. Very interesting and challenging to be an active listener to different types of speakers, topics, environments. Learned a lot. Your challenge reignites that memory and reminds me to apply what I learned, TY

Because listening is an ART I accept the challenge on my three hour hike with my neighbor to LISTEN for the unexpressed. Thank you, Grant. Note: I may say a few words about myself, but I shall refrain from interrupting. Baby steps!

I hope it went well! Walking and talking is one of the best ways to talk.
