Oh my god I have been working on this. I've realized I am actually afraid of silence so I "cue" up a response in my head to keep the silences from happening. It's a very hard habit to break, but I notice my brothers do the same thing to me, and I hate it. So--learning. practicing. :) good post
Thank you! I'm sure you will get better and better, with more practice. I think we all need to try a little harder when it comes to listening.
