When my dad was talking to the family about my sister’s attitude problem, I knew I had to be there for my sister, however, I just find it very boring that we were talking about the same problem again. I think the most difficult part for me in this situation is selective attention. When we are talking about something interesting, I would listen more carefully and give more feedbacks. However, when my dad starts to repeat himself, my attention tends to drift off elsewhere. The way to overcome that is to speak up, and remind my father that he is repeating the information and we should move on to more important issue. Because I am a very selective attention kind of person, I always avoid the topic I am not interested in. However, if the topic of a listening situation benefits me, then I would constantly remind myself that and try to keep my focus.
