Negative Listener

Someone that hears only what they want to hear.

Someone that while 'listening' to your argument, they have already thought of a reply regardless of what is currently being said.

Someone that doesnt pay full attention to the conversation.

You: "Can you tell me what format of longitude/ latitude this GPS device stores its locations?"
Negative Listener: "I'm sorry sir, but you cant search for locations based on longitude/ latitude."
You: "Huh? You appeared to have answered a question I never asked!"

Air hostess: "Would you like the chicken or beef sir?"
Negative Listener: "The fish sounds delicious!"

active listening

Pretend listening.

That Greg guy's sales numbers are crazy high because he's really good at active listening (i.e., he's really good at making you feel like he's listening to you).

non-listener

1.One that gets their ear talked off by a subject that they could care less about, therefore, they pretend to listen by using certain words that make it sound like they're listening but in fact they are not paying attention at all.

2.Someone who spends their life in their own little world and just grasps one or two words from a conversation to throw back so people actually think they were listening. They actually have no idea what anyone was talking about nor do they care.

Guy/Girl says: "I'm so glad that I got to talk to you right now because there are so many thing that you must hear about in my life right now."

Non-listener guy/girl says: " Mmm Hmm Mmm Hmm I Understand.

Girl/Guy says: " Do you really."

Non-listener guy/girl says: "I think I do"

hard listener

when you tell someone something, they acknowledge they hear you, and don’t do it or do the opposite. it’s not that they don’t care or hate you, you just can’t get your point across to them so you have to dumb it down.

Jack and rock are hard listeners. what does that mean? they’re fucking dumb
