I think a lot of us can relate in some way to what you wrote. I definitely do. Having to ask people to repeat things... If I'm not 100% focused on what they're saying, this is a common thing for me. I try my best to focus, but in some situations it's not always possible. Then there's the sometimes wanting to improve and sometimes not. It's so difficult to change. I want to, but some days it's just too much effort. We can't give up, though.
