Most people don’t actually listen; they just wait for their turn to talk or immediately jump into “fix-it” mode. High-EQ individuals practice active, deep listening.You confirm what the other person is saying, ask good clarifying questions, don’t jump in with your own stories. It makes people feel very seen and safe with you.
A quick reality check: Real listening means putting down your phone, shutting off your inner monologue, and just being fully present with the person in front of you.
