Do you listen, or do you wait to talk?

I'm afraid, Rick, most of us just wait for the other person's mouth to quit moving so we can say what we want.  It's a human failing.  There are very few really good listeners.  It's a real art.

Speak To Her Who about What?
796761
Acknowledge the person's response and listen to what he or she has to say.  You indicated he or she may be dying, so this is not the time to argue, but to listen.  He or she may have learned some valuable lessons and willing to share with you.

"Do you want to ****?  Or do I owe you an apology?"

Is this a question or a answer and what would you do.

Not if the other person shows they knew what you were going to say. The problem is when people are not listening, and they interrupt you to say what they want.

I would wait until he tells you first b/c if he doesn't say it back then you will feel rejected.

if you don't know, then you should wait until you do know.

When I find that I have something to say, but the other person doesn't want to listen, I listen to them first. It doesn't matter if you already know what they are about to say, or what they are thinking, everyone just wants someone to hear them. So after they are done talking/crying/yelling or whatever, then you talk to them calmly about how you feel about the situation. Don't be so quick to blame, just talk. If they still don't want to listen to you, then let them go,  they'll know where to find you once they are ready to listen.

When you're asking?  It's time.

You could say what you are thinking. You could ask a question related to the conversation. "Wait a minute, what if....(you fill in the blank)......" something like that. \n\nHowever, Libby makes a perfect point in that you are much  better off being a listener. My hunch is that the conversations you have with individuals are much more interesting then the group ones. Stick with being you. That is my advice.

I talk to God as if he were a friend talking a walk with me. I start off kinda formal and then get friendly and casual. "Dear God/Lord, Please do this or that if it's what you know is best, but if not....or how can I reach so and so and help him...oh, I know I can show them that passage in the Bible. Cool, thanks for bringing that to my mind." \n\nSometimes I get a revelation during the conversation. Yes I said conversation. I don't think of it as me talking to God, but us having a conversation with each other. Cuz if you aren't planning on listening to him, then you are wasting your time.\n\nOthers I may not hear or feel the answer right away. It may take days, weeks, months or years. Sometimes the answer doesn't come in a feeling or revelation but in the form of an action from someone else....certain circumstances will show me why God did what he did or why he led me in a certain direction.\n\nGod Bless you\nby the way: I am a Christian and I thank God for sending His son to die for us in my prayers too.\n\nP.S. I pray silently if I'm in public or around others. If I by myself, I talk out loud a lot. I really like to pray when I am walking alone or driving.

Use your body language rather than words.  Listen attentively when they speak, nod your head.  Also, sometimes, ask questions that show you've been paying attention to their speech or to their interests.

you should probably call him. maybe he's waiting for you to call him. you never know. waiting might cause misunderstanding.
