“When someone speaks and no one listens, there has been no communication. The reason that we do not listen to each other is that our egos get in the way. We are all guilty, at one time or another, of mentally rehearsing what we want to say while we are ostensibly listening to what a fellow conversationalist is saying. Then, we jump in, either by switching the conversation around to the subject which interests us the most, or by dropping a quip or other diversionary tactic. These conversational ploys can tell others more about our secret personalities than a dozen hours on an analyst’s couch.”
