I agree! Listening itself is not enough especially when your attention is divided and you are just forcing yourself to engage. Forcing yourself to engage doesn’t mean you completely understand what is being said as you are not really interested on what is going on in the conversation.
I think all these elements that are mentioned in the video are very important when having a conversation with someone, it is important to show interest to the other person, to show empathy, to ask questions to clarify, to keep the attention on the other person, to show interest in what the other person is saying, all this is essential to have active listening, A lot of times when you don't it can be a little rude. Thank you for sharing this video with this example it explains very well the important aspects of active listening
The difference between just listening and active listening lies in the level of engagement and understanding. Just listening is a passive process where the listener hears the words being spoken but may not fully process or engage with the information. It involves surface-level attention, where the listener may acknowledge the speaker with nods or brief responses but without demonstrating genuine understanding or interest. In contrast, active listening is an engaged and focused effort, where the listener not only pays attention to the words but also to the tone, body language, and emotions behind the message.
