Are you a selective listener?

Not usually, but with some people, I have to be.

With some people you have to listen carefully to what they aren’t saying when they discuss something.

Huh?

When I was younger, I had serious selective mutism.

Whaaat?

Yes

I think so.

But,

I think, I can also see the bigger picture when others are just focused on one thing.

I'm weird like that.

I'm not.

When I listen I give it all.

Huh ! They did what to your dog?

Yes

Say something?
