Do you suffer from selective deafness ....?

Question

I am constantly being told that I don't listen to a certain person who shall remain nameless but I really don't hear ...

Answer 4

It's called selective attention, i studied it in psychology courses lol u listen only to what ur interested in for example right now although there are cars passing by or noises (clock....) u are not bothered cause ur not focusing on them, however when sm1 calls ur name, u turn so how come u weren't listening to what they were talking in the other room & replied only 2 ur name? that's what u call selective listening .... Otherwise, ur growing old Jeddo =( lol
