 Active listening involves several key components such as paying full attention to the speaker, demonstrating understanding through body language and verbal feedback, and withholding judgment while the speaker is talking. It also includes reflecting on what is being said, clarifying any points of confusion, summarizing, and sharing. Things that are not part of active listening include:

1. Interrupting the speaker while they are talking. 2. Thinking about how you are going to respond rather than focusing on what the speaker is saying. 3. Being distracted (e.g., looking at your phone, fidgeting with objects, or daydreaming). 4. Jumping to conclusions without fully understanding the message. 5. Ignoring or dismissing the speaker's message.

Each of these behaviors disrupts the communication process and indicates that one is not fully engaged in the conversation.
