"Active listening" was always an issue for me in school. It still holds true as an adult. If I'm in the middle of reading an article on my phone and someone starts talking to me, I can find myself irrationally angry. If I'm trying to listen to someone and there's something playing in the background, I can't focus on the conversation. If I'm watching a movie and someone starts talking, I literally have to pause the movie if I want to truly comprehend what they're talking about. My brain's one-input system at work again!
