You do indeed interact with a lot of people. You're one of the very few people I've seen on Steem that leave valuable comments like this one. I highly appreciate that about you.

I think why people listen less is because they crave instant gratification. Speaking is more "fun" for most people, while listening requires patience to be enjoyed because you have to understand the other person first.

I can understand that listening gets a little overwhelming sometimes especially when you are talking with a lot of people at the same time, that's why I often just stick with one person at a time.

That way, I know that I can give that person all of my attention. But I do admit that I feel like I am not being listened to at times.

When you are a good listener it's normal to assume that other people would be too which, let's just say, doesn't happen that often.

P.S. Thanks for the re-steem! :D
