Do You Listen to Understand or Just Wait to Speak? (Comment Below ⬇️)

I’ve noticed something in a lot of people, especially in interviews or uncomfortable conversations.

They don’t really listen.

They’re already forming their next sentence before the other person even finishes.

It’s not arrogance.

It’s insecurity.

They’re scared of being caught off guard, of saying the wrong thing, or of being judged.

You’ll see it in interviews all the time.

Someone asks a question, and instead of pausing to think, the person jumps straight into a response.

Not because they want to connect, but because silence feels unsafe.

But that’s the problem.

If you’re already preparing what to say next, you’re not truly listening.

You’re reacting, not connecting.

🟥 Question 1: When someone challenges you, do you genuinely listen first, or do you start preparing your answer before they’re done speaking?

🟥 Question 2: Why do you think so many people struggle to just sit in silence and actually hear what’s being said?
