In the previous post, I focused the attention on the powerful impact that both “listening” and “asking questions” have at an intellectual and emotional level.
In the same vein, the opposite is true. Not showing sincere interest and attention when either listening or asking questions, produce disengagement from the communication process. By doing this, the person is sending the message, “I am bored; I have no interest in what you have to say; I don’t care what you think.”
This attitude of apathy or fake interest can have detrimental effects. Not only is this attitude harmful to the conversation, but it is also damaging to the relationship.
I'm looking forward to sharing with you more about this topic in my next post.
