You are always thinking ahead of what the speaker is saying. Example: I will say this, then he will say that, then I will say this etc.,.... Great problem solver. You want to give the right advice. You feel like you are a coach, and miss out what it is most important. Take everything people say and relate it through your own experience. You interrupt with your story before they finish. You want to be nice, pleasant and supportive. You want people to like and agree with you with everything. You prejudge somebody as incompetent or uninformed, you don´t pay much attention to what this person says. From the start you already labeled this speaker. We pretend to listen while we are wandering in our fantasies. Instead of disciplining ourselves to concentrate, we turn the channel to a more entertaining subject for us. All of a sudden change the subject when you get uncomfortable or bored with a topic, even joking is possible. You can´t stand being wrong. You will go to great extreme ( twist facts, shout, make excuses or accusations, refer to past mistakes). You won´t tolerate being corrected. Argue and debate before listening. Main focus to look for things to disagree with.
