[quote=Steve85]I can't actively listen if I don't give a crap about what she says.

I disagree with this.

I was at the store yesterday buying some things. The cashier was nice enough. Told me about wanting to get off work and enjoy Memorial Day. How he wanted to go to the parade that morning as he hasn't been able to go in several years. I actively listened. Empathized. Even validated.

But I didn't really give a crap.

Fair point Steve. I will take this on board and think about how to implement it. Its a change in my mentality and might take a bit to figure out the how part for me as a person.
