Question: Think of a time when someone didn't listen to you before prescribing an answer. How did you feel?

Answer:  It made me feel annoying and uninterested in the answer of the speaker. It also made me feel hurt as I feel neglected while speaking and this create negligence for the speaker too.

Question: When do you most often fail to listen to others? Why?

Answer: I fail to listen mostly if I am doing other things while listening to someone talking. It is normal, when tuning in to another person talk, to formulate an answer while the other individual is as yet talking. Notwithstanding, this implies that we are not actually tuning in to all that is being said.
