Active Listening - Jerrold Wong
1.Yes,I normally chat with people that I am familiar with,so we always have a topic that all of us are involved in to talk about.
2.I can assume that other people also have exciting things to share,and so I have to keep quiet to hear it.
3.I can check to see if I had been through whatever topic they have been talking about.If I do,I can share it with them.If I don't , I will keep quiet and listen to what they had to say.

Do you ever find yourself speaking up too soon ?
Yes sometimes i do find myself to speak up too soon , perhaps out of anxiety.
If so , how can you clear your mind to fully listening ?
Do not focus on the things that are not related to the question or the topic that you are listening temporarily.
Do you ever find yourself wanting to jump in because you are eager to share ?

Channel that excitement into attention. We should focus our attention on them when they are talking about and listen to them. Pay attention to what they are saying.
What else can you do to prepare for conversations with others ?
Think of what to say before the start of the conversation. Think it through and make sure it is appropriate.
Can we ask them up front what they are looking for ? (advice , a sounding board , solutions )

You can signal to them to let them show that you are listening. For example, you can nod, respond with a simple 'uh huh', provide feedback, etc.

No. We must wait for them to finish in order to avoid them getting the full message through.

It feels upsetting, because it feels like they do not care about what you are about to say and just put what they are about to say over yours.

Do you ever find yourself speaking up too soon?
I sometimes find myself speaking up too soon. Especially when I want to point out something the speaker said.
If so, how can you clear your minds to fully listen?
We can make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, also not allow ourselves to become distracted by our surroundings.
Do you ever find yourself waiting to jump in because you are eager to share?
I do somtimes feel like jumping into the conversation when I wanted to share something as after the speaker told me something, I sometimes have personal experiences related to the topic to tell her.
How can you channel your excitment into listening and wait for the proper opportunity to share?
I can put my excitment aside, focus on the speaker to finish her speech completely before providing good feedback, personal opinion and experiences.
What else can you do to prepare for conversations with others?
We can just think of topics to discuss about before the start of the conversation. During the conversation, we will need to listen attentively and pay attention to the speaker, after they finish speaking, then think of constructive feedback and opinion.
Can we ask them up front what they are looking for?
We can only do this after they finish talking. Most of the time, the speaker would mention it and you would need to pay attention to them so as to know.
How does it make you feel to be cut off in the middle of your thought?
I feel like the person ins't listening to what I'm talking about. And they just want to know certain information. And I won't be able to know whether I talked till. This will tell me that the person is rude.

Question: Do I find myself speaking too soon?
Answer: Yes, sometimes I find myself speaking too soon. It is most likely because I am very excited and want others to know what I have been through/experienced.
Question: How can I clear my mind to fully listen?
Answer: I have to remind myself that the speaker is still talking and place myself in his shoes, if I am speaking, I would not want others to interrupt what I want to say as my train of thoughts would be broken and I would not remember what I want to say. I have to respect the speaker too, so that he or she would respect me when its my turn speaking.
Question: Do you ever find yourself wanting to jump in because you are too excited?
Answer: Yes, definitely! Its just like a 'virus' or should I say habit. We are so prone to such acts that it becomes a habit, that whenever you are placed in the same situation, we would react the same way. Most of the time is it because we are too excited and want other to know what we have been through so that they would admire us.
Question: How can you channel your excitement into listening and wait for the proper opportunity to share?
Answer: We can write it down incase we forgot and when the speaker ended his or her speech, we can say, 'To add on to what (speaker's name) just said, ... ...' that way we can let others know our experience and be respectful to the speaker too! :)
Question: What else can you do to prepare for conversations with others?
Answer: We can write down what we want to say in point forms. That way we can remember it better. Another alternative is making mindmaps in your heads. We must also have a respectful attitude and a listening ear as if we do not listen, we would be able to come up with the appropriate answers to the questions and have a conversation.
Question: Can we ask them up front what they are looking for?
Answer: Yes we should ask them directly instead of beating around the bush. To me, being straight forward is batter than beating around the bush as we would get an answer immediately. I would only beat around the bush if I am shy about the topic etc.
Question: How does it make you feel to be cut off in the middle of your thought?
Answer: I would be very angry and irritated. When I am speaking, I feel that I should receive respect from the audience, thus when it is their turn, I would also give them respect and listen to what they want to say instead and break their train of thoughts.
