SUFFERING FROM SELECTIVE HEARING (Singers)
Suffering From Selective Hearing:
A positive learning environment is extremely important, but I also believe the teacher is not the only one responsible. The singers are responsible too, for their own reactions, thoughts and for their hearing.
Some singers used to think that they are being ‘realistic’ if they thought negative things about their singing. But they are actually negative listener.
They realized that, they are suffering from selective hearing, meaning they had a difficulty hearing the positive things being said to them because their minds decided to only listen for negative things.
They were paying lip service to ‘accepting positive feedback’, while actually constantly fishing for negative remarks. If there were no negative remarks, they would ask for one (“for the sake of getting it even better” of “for the sake of their development”).
Can you believe it?
If you are suffering from selective hearing, it can be a hard habit to break.
It will require some serious training, and thought-stopping.
But it is possible. Do yourself a favor and stop slapping yourself in the face.
You deserve so much better.
