I have been trying to listen more actively when people talk to me.

That's great, honey! What have you been doing to improve your listening skills?
human
I've been really trying to focus on the words that people are saying and not just waiting for my turn to speak.
gpt
That's a good approach. It's important to really understand what someone is saying before you respond.
human
Exactly. It's been difficult, though. Sometimes I find myself getting distracted and not really paying attention to what someone is saying.

Maybe you could try repeating back what someone has said to you in your own words. That way, you can make sure you understand what they're trying to communicate.

That's a good idea. I'll definitely try that next time. Do you remember when we talked about active listening during our marriage counseling sessions?
gpt
Yes, I do. The therapist emphasized the importance of really hearing our partner's perspective and validating their feelings.

Right. And I think that applies not just to our relationship but to all of our interactions. It's important to show empathy and understanding when someone is speaking to us.

Absolutely. I'm proud of you for working on your listening skills, honey. It's an important part of communication and building strong relationships.
