Are you a good listener! I have someone who never listens to what I say and at the end of the day she messes up everything and says you never said this or that! How to correct these people? Where do I begin?

I think she only hear what you say, but she never really listen to you. If we respect someone, then we surely will listen to them. Some people listen to what other says while they think about something else in their head. I don't know how to correct these people, but if you're close enough to them, and you feel uncomfortable about this, then you should start to talk to them about this. It's better to always try to pay attention to what other says, because it means that we respect them this way.

I do think that there are alot of people out there that are like her except they only take a little of what they are hearing in and not all of it as well as hear it the wat they want to as well.

It is not so much as disrespecting someone but lack of concentration.

It is so important that we listen as decisions sometimes serious ones are a consequence of that.

Well you need to check what your are talkign about if it is a boring topic and she is not interested to hear it then you cant make her listen to whatever you say. But if it is something interestign she will for sure listen to it and might ask soem questions to you as well. So better ask her if she is interested in hearing the things, subject you are so concerned about.

If somebody doesn't listen to you, then try listening to them, what is their problem. Analyse their problem and try to solve it. So the key is, if you want to be listened, then listen to them first. Are you a good listener?

I am a good listener. I listen to my friend.. Maybe you should call the attention of your friend because maybe she is not aware of her attitude problem..

If you watch our interaction you will laugh heartily. I will be talking about something and she will have her own thoughts and so I have now decided not to take her seriously. No other go!!!

I am a good listener but I am quite forgetful now. I think your friend doesn't only not listen but she has this bad habit of putting the blame on others. It's hard to deal with people like that. I think, if you can, be straight to that person and tell him/her that she/he should not be blaming others for her shortcomings. Because she/he will never improve.
