True listening transcends merely waiting for your turn to speak; it's an act of empathy and validation that makes the speaker feel genuinely heard and valued. By practicing active listening and resisting the urge to shift the focus back to ourselves, we cultivate deeper, more meaningful connections that enrich both our lives and those of the people around us.
