hearing versus listening.

yes, i understand that you're listening to me. but you're not hearing me. if you were hearing me then you'd understand my point of view. and maybe even change your mind.

is that fair or unfair? maybe unfair. and maybe that goes against all the rules of communication and active listening but i don't like you right now because i'm not being heard. and at this point i couldn't even tell you what it looks like to be heard.

this sucks; i am so emotionally involved in all of this. damnit.
