In conversation, I listen to every word the other person says. I study their face while they're talking if we are in each other's presence. I'm interested in the other person's ideas, thoughts, concerns. I love trying to figure out what makes people tick. If I sense a need, I offer encouragement or support.
On the other hand, when someone is telling me something I need to listen to, I tend to tune them out.

I'm too busy thinking of what i'm going to say next.
I could go so far as to say this is my worst trait/habit/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.
I never truly listen to people.
I just wait until their mouth stops moving and i say whatever comes to mind.
I interrupt constantly just so that i get heard.
I really don't know when to just shut up.
I've perfected the whole "nod-like-you're-interested" thing and i hate myself because of it.
I wish i did hang on to someone's every word. Maybe then i'd manage to not come off as an uneducated idiot.
For instance, i ran into an acquaintance the other day at the university. And we were talking about what we were studying. And then i interrupted her and got into this whole tirade of how i don't want to be one of those doctors that sells out and starts doing it just for the money. And then i said this "my greatness will determine my demise"... It came out as superficial and egotistical and i wanted to slap myself.
If i just took the time to truly listen and then think before speaking.... i'd be set.

I hang onto the words so tightly that sometimes, with certain special people in my life, I feel like I become a part of them, if only for a brief moment in time :)

I find that if I do that, I lose interest.
Edit for details: I'm a great listener but a better talker! Also, I am very analytical, so if I listen to one person's words too closely, I start to see a bigger picture and it starts to become very clear who they really are... sometimes I don't like who they really are!

No, I don't, that's one of my biggest problems. I just try to catch the gist but miss a lot of the key points.
