I have noticed more and more lately that when in conversation with others wherever that may be that active listening is not common. By that I mean actually acknowledging what the other person is saying either by gestures nodding, smiling etc and continuing the line of conversation. Sometimes I feel as though nothing I have said in a conversation has been heard at all. Perhaps I am dull and my conversation isn't worth hearing but I don't think so as I try to reflect back what the person has said to me, to acknowledge what they say and ask more questions or offer supportive words if they are indicated. I sometimes feel I have been present in a conversation at all. Is it me?
