The art of trying to appear to be listening to someone, but just reacting to the last thing they said in an agreeing manner.
I was talking to my buddy Bob about my daily grind with work, and my wife making a big deal about the "hassle" taking our daughter to Disney Land.
He replied with "Yeah, Disney Land can be pretty stressful." ... He totally missed my point, typical Reactive Listening!
Antonym: Active Listening

Get the batting practice mug.This is the shit that Proactiv put me through
2 weeks just to get "the package"
10 fucking minutes just to finish the "3 Steps"
The "3 Steps" are complicated as fuck
I have to apply the fucking treatment TWICE a dah
Dry ass skin
Green Tea Moisturizer doesn´t do shit
1 whole month just to get results
The people who try to sell you Proactiv on the phone try to sell you way too many shit
Proactiv has shit for every single thing(WHY CANT YOU JUST MAKE FUCKING SIMPLE ACNE TREATMENT THAT ALL COMES IN ONE BOTTLE?)
They sent me some "magic pills" called Vitaclear which turned my piss bright yellow
Etc.
Sometimes I get lazy when I´m using Proactiv because of all the shit mentioned above
Was it worth it? Fuck no. Did I get results? Yes, but it took too long to get results. Is it worth buying? Only if you´re desperate to get rid of acne. I think it´s overrated and customers don´t tell Proactiv all the shit it puts them through. But hey, at least my acne is gone(for now)
