Do you relate to people in stereo?

I've figured out that good friends listen to their inner voice with one “ear,” while, with the other "ear," they pay close attention to what I'm saying and doing and being. They don't agree too readily (which is pretending to be like me) or argue (which is trying to persuade me to be like them).

If this doesn't come naturally to you, either, experiment this week with relating in stereo; after all, we don’t really know anyone well enough to imitate them or dismiss their feedback.

If you've got this one figured out already, help someone like me how better to do it.
