How Not Having A Passion Is Harming Your Relationships
- By

You become a lazy listener
I have noticed that the few people in my life who never really went after a dream are not good listeners. As a coping mechanism, they have had to shut their brain off a lot. They get home from work, drink some wine, turn on the TV, and shut their brain off just to survive the day. This coping mechanism winds up seeping into conversations with other people. In fact, I think those that don’t have a passion, without even realizing it, stop listening when other people talk about their passion. It is too painful for them to hear about something they missed out on. But listening in relationships is so important, and people won’t tolerate it for long if you aren’t paying attention.
