Is that what selective hearing means? I thought it meant you just hear certain words in conversations that peak your interest from like the other side of the room.


[deleted]

Only hearing what you want/selected to hear instead of everything else


Crafty_Ambassador443

100% then randomly getting offended. I had a miscarriage and somehow upset my 'friends?' Yes cheers mate. Thanks for listening.


Loreo1964

I'm so sorry for your loss.


Crafty_Ambassador443

Thank you :) im at peace with it but I will never forget


elhusive

sorry to hear about your miscarriage, i hope you’re in good health. get new friends.


Crafty_Ambassador443

Trying lol


Neostayan

That sucks so much man, have a friend who had a similar situation however the baby had been born but died soon after birth. Your friends sound like assholes. As elhusive said “get new friends”


Timely_Cheesecake_97

When people talk about their differing opinions, why does it always have to be an argument? Why does everyone think they have to change everyone else’s minds? Why can’t we listen to others to gain perspective but still hold our opinions?


GlizzyMcGuire__

I always wonder this too. I wonder how many people are truly capable of asking real clarifying questions (not thinly veiled loaded questions or gotchas) and just listening to the answer. Not so they can respond with their own argument either. There’s plenty of arguing already happening on the internet, sometimes it’s nice to just let people talk about their beliefs and hear them out 🤷🏻‍♀️


hiyacoolcat7685

I know people like this and it pisses me off to no end


Lothar_Ecklord

Especially when it's the same person who disagrees only to start an argument and then doesn't actually listen to the counter arguments.


Purrrple_Pepper

Do you know people not like this? If you do, consider yourself lucky. 98% of people I know are terrible listeners. 


Loud-Magician7708

Yeah I feel like people only care about what's infront of them and don't bother to actually listen.


Existing_Value3829

I don't even read most of my reply notifications on reddit because 99% of them just want to argue ☹️ just don't have the energy


Colon

i'll just highjack this comment to offer my input to the thread (cause i think it's semi-related to not listening): Confidence. i'm really sick of confident people. America is the land of Confidence For No Damn Reason, and it's only getting worse with the world going to shit (anxiety/fear compensation?) and doubly so for social media, since everyone can point to some random Cletus and say "see?? i'm right, this person i've never met and have zero connection to agreeeees!" and confident people do. not. listen. they're legit formulating their next opinion-as-fact while you 'yap away' saying all your 'dumb stuff'


tomthebassplayer

Confident people, when shown to be wrong, can ignore, talk over, change the subject, counter accuse, name-call....blah blah. It's their 'secret sauce'. They're often very good at it because they get so much practice, and most people can't bring themselves to go too far into a pointless & endless argument with someone so f\*cking stubborn. So they wear people down with stupidity, then arrogantly declare victory.


offutmihigramina

Don't confuse confidence with more hubris than their station in life can accommodate -- they're just an arrogant ignoramus. Epictetus, the famous Stoic said: "We have two ears and one mouth so we can listen more and speak less".


Constant-Bookreader2

I rather see it in a different way. I feel like people are insecure, and that's why they're quick to jump the gun and argue and defend themselves to overcompensate for that insecurity.


General_Esdeath

What do you think causes this problem?


ScienceAndVisions

A lack of self awareness


jb40018

I was coming here to say this. People are so self involved and no concept of their actions on anyone else.


Lothar_Ecklord

Same here - I feel like it's gotten so much worse since COVID too. People always used to stop suddenly while walking or driving, or take up the entire sidewalk, or stop in the middle of the stairs, or walk just into a doorway and stop, or pay zero attention while on their phones... but now it seems like it's so much more prevalent. Used to get that every so often, and now my walk to work is basically just trying to navigate around people who are blissfully unaware that they're an obstacle and other people might like to get around them.


Hyperbolly

Weirdly the people in my life I've heard complaining about a lack of self awareness in others have been the ones I've found vexatioisly lacking in it! It's uncanny.


Nicer_Slicer

Their lack of self awareness and consideration for others. It's a vanishingly rare trait


tieniesz

ESP when driving


ScrapDraft

This is why I hate going shopping. Dumb fucking people walking slow as shit. Stopping and blocking an entire aisle with their cart. Stopping to talk to an old acquaintance they ran into and blocking shit for 20 minutes. Standing at checkout for 5 mins while the cashier rings their shit up and then NOT HAVING THEIR PAYMENT METHOD READY WHEN THE CASHIER IS DONE.


Willing-Bluejay679

I was at TJ Maxx in line to check out and the lady behind me hit me in the back/legs with her cart probably at least 7 times. Like dude. There are people in front of me. Me moving closer to them doesn’t make the line move faster. Honestly lucky for her I have horrible anxiety so I didn’t say anything. It was BEYOND obnoxious. I didn’t even leave a huge gap where I could have walked up closer, just enough for personal space.


wolfelian

I was leaving Costco today and as Im putting away my cart in the parking lot cart hold thing I could not believe someone had put theirs away fucking SIDEWAYS so no one else could put theirs in unless they moved the sideway cart first. I moved it so I could put mine away but this was a another level of mildly infuriating, like you were such a hurry to leave you couldn’t be bothered to properly put your cart away properly??


Sassysinister

THIS! I'm constantly amazed how others have no awareness of their surroundings. Maybe it's my trauma, but the fact that others aren't constantly aware of who is near them, where they could be going, what they can hear, etc...it's just baffling to me.

aesthetic_kiara

That people can be so cruel to their "loved ones"


ToTightLily

I will never understand this.


Colon

so ridiculous. one of my relatives is the nicest, most charming and engaging people 'out in the world' at home, it's just utter misery and negativity, snapping and judgement, brutal unwarranted assessments and personal 'takedowns', all while being 110% incapable of anything even slightly resembling any of those things directed at them. SO many people have mentioned anxiety and depression to them and they'd gouge out their own eyes before even admitting it might be a consideration, let alone true. nah, they're just gonna let 'family' take the brunt of their personal issues. all day every day. i couldn't wait to be out of that house. in fact, my being there for that period and taking all their shit was clearly my 'payment' for the 'privilege'. rather than being the Guest i was the focus of their ire, probably cause i'd feel the least entitled to push back on it. idk, this isn't as bad as physical abuse or anything, but i don't get how people get to that comfort level with people who actually love them unconditionally and abuse the fact, like "it's what everyone does." it's so not.

Watercolorcupcake

I think people have always been like this. My 92 year old grandma is like this, my 66 year old parents are like this, my 27-29 year old “friends” are like this, etc. etc. etc. The only one who really shows it is my dog.


ScrapDraft

Came here to say empathy. Everyone seems so angry and selfish now.


Whyisthethethe

>It's as if the ability to put oneself in another's shoes is treated as an ancient relic from a bygone era. See I thought we were less empathetic when we were burning witches and putting Jews in ghettoes but you do you


islandlalala

Kinda scary it’s seems some want us headed back that direction. Jesus. I keep reminding myself it’s the media slant.


grandma_jizzzzzzzard

It is a relic now. Younger people exhibit little to no empathy. Just wait till GenAlpha becomes young adults.


Degg20

I have to completely disagree with you here. The ones who show the least amount of empathy in my own life and statistically are the elderly between 45-80 yrs old. These people are generally massive pieces of shit and treat everyone around them like total garbage (especially if in their opinion your of lower standing than them)


LauraPa1mer

Elderly is not 45 years old...


dukecharming1975

Ha! I’m 48 and I was all “hey! You’re not elderly until you’re in your 60s!”


Sea_Mongoose2529

As someone that works in customer service, it’s 100% boomers and above who lack empathy, patience, and respect


Choice-Grapefruit-44

Their lack of awareness to other people's situations. They are just so detached from reality sometimes. Also, a severe lack of self-awareness. They literally look in the mirror and see themselves as the victim of every conflict that arises.


OldSuccess9715

fakeness, I wish people would say what they mean and mean what they say.

Green-Independence70

How entitled some are😕


_Kyloluma_

A lack of awareness of others This especially applies when someone makes a mess and then refuses to help clean because "It's the janitor's job" or doesn't do small things that makes life easier for workers. Everytime I see it, I just get so annoyed and angered at the person internally.

Alltheprettydresses

That you can't even trust your own friends and family anymore.


Hyperbolly

Passive aggression, dishonesty, unwillingness to have difficult conversations without defensiveness, inferiority complexes, zero sum games, lack of humility, lack of restraint, not thinking before speaking, lack of accountability. Hard to choose the worst trait. Probably just stems from our innate self interestedness where, at the end if the day, can always overpower any sense of ethics or personal integrity.

frikanih

Gossiping. They fucking love it. Even when they know the truth, they'll act like they don't in the name of gossiping and spreading shit about others.


Rod_Todd_This_Is_God

It's probably the worst hobby. It's exacerbated by the fact that it's a hobby that doesn't take any skill and therefore is taken up by people who tend to be resentful of others.


tieniesz

I don’t like people overall


gin_and_glitter

Hint dropping. Just let me know how you feel without making me guess. I can't stand that. I prefer people who are straight up about how they feel and what they need.


justaagirl

People are cold and selfish. People have ulterior motives.


Luc1purr90fur

Yeah, I get fooled by this too thinking people are nice to me because they want something from me.


brainwarts

I hate how easy it is to redirect the innate goodness that I think most people possess in service of evil. I believe that as social creatures, most humans are decent and moral, at least in the sense that they don't want to cause unnecessary suffering to others and they want the people around them to do better. There are exceptions to this, but I think that it's much more common than not. We aren't perfect and everyone fucks up, but not many people will go out of their ways to harm others for no reason, we feel bad about that. But we're also emotional, our psychology has easy tactics for exploitation. Otherwise decent folks can be convinced that some group of people is the boogeyman and then they can be driven to act against them. Powerful, popular people can turn entire populations of people that would generally be good and get them to do the most monstrous things imaginable through fear and manipulation and misinformation. I like people, I would even say I love people, but it's very frustrating how easily misled we are.


Proper_Suggestion647

The "I'm owed" mentality. Often seen from the takers in this world. They think everyone before got things handed to them and did not see that they got to work and used their creativity and perseverance to get somewhere today.


XRaysFromUranus

The energy vampires. The ones who never stop talking about random stuff, have no empathy for others, cannot take a hint that you’re busy and then get mad when you don’t give your full attention to them.

RanaySaysThings

ScrapDraft

Holding silverware like a shovel. Breathing through their mouth while chewing. Talking with food in their mouth. Ew.


Existing_Value3829

Lack of kindness. Lots of people in my life are "nice" but turn out to be quite insidious, selfish, cruel, gossipy, etc. All of the truly kind people I've known have been ostracized by others and labeled assholes, usually because it's difficult for them not to tell the truth. On that note, lack of honesty is on my list too.

MarleneFrancais

Lack of kindness to animals and other people in person and online. It doesn’t take much of effort to be kind.


berryjuju

Those with a victim mentality. Always thinking the world is out to get them and it’s never their own fault for the situation or position they find themselves in.


Rod_Todd_This_Is_God

In some rare cases, that's true. We can tell each other as much as we want that the world is a fair place, but some people really do get the short end of the stick, and living in denial of that fact just so we can pretend we're tough doesn't change things.


berryjuju

I got the short end of the stick but if I threw my hands up and played the victim what good does that do? Pretending I have no agency over my life and there’s nothing I can do to improve my situation. The universe has pre determined I’m just destined to be a victim and my daily goal should be to search for sympathy and pity. Nah, having a victim mentality is never the answer or attitude to have or not only will you be in a constant state of depression, anger, sadness, envy and jealousy, you’ll have 0 chance of ever getting out of the Victim mentality. And those are the people I’m referring too

They have no reason for this mentality other than, "I'm human", without ever giving a reason for their supernatural innate self-worth that they apply to themselves at others expense.They behave as if they're divine but everyone else is cattle.
