How often you give someone a chance to explained?

Before I was very impulsive in making judgment or decisions. It's mainly because of too much environment pressure. When someone made a mistakes I gave a chance to explained but I don't listened at all, just for the sake of formality. So often I gave a wrong hasty decisions. I'm regretful for what I'd done. But I learned my lessons. How about you, do you always give someone a chance to explained? How often, do you take and apply their explanation? Thanks and Have a great weekends!

well yeah, i always give him/her a chance to explain his/her side; however, whenever i see a flaw in their argument, i can't help but butt in. Of course this usually makes the argument longer but i don't know, maybe its just me but i am a person who is really rational. so if you can prove to me that im wrong, then il admit it. but if you just accuse me of something or argue with me, i don't let my emotions get the best of me. rather, i listen carefully with what they say, and if what they say and what they do is contradictory, i let them know. but in a different way now. I do not get into arguments anymore because that would neither help or end the argument. so i just listen and let him/her finish what they are saying before i say a word. i try SO hard not to interrupt them.
