FIVE POOR LISTENING

STYLES.
By: Kenneth Booth

SPACING OUT.
When you are talking to someone and you just blank out, and you dont
know what they said because you are focused on something else and not
them.

This is one example of

spacing out or blanking
out.

PRETEND LISTENING
When you choose to pretend your listening but your really not, and the person get
the point that you dont really care.

SELECTIVE LISTENING
You listen when you want to or you hear only one word and completely
interrupt the person or you end up being rude

WORD LISTENING
Occurs when we actually pay attention to what someone is saying, but we listening only
to the words, not to the words, not to the body language or the feelings or anything thats
important.

SELF-CENTERED LISTENING
This is when you judge, advise, and we probe. Also this is when you think
you know how someone else feels and sometimes you do but 90% of the
time you dont.
