Are you an impulsive person?
I hate throwing numbers. I'm not the guy. All I would take away from this is to try and listen more even if you have 1-10 more things to say until the other person's thought is finished and to hear them out. I used to be and partially still am one of those people too. I've been called everything in the book.
Listening does mean more and most people suck at communicating their ideas and listening when you combine them. There are other variables like mood too, sometimes the other person doesn't want to hear what you have to say and they've already made up their mind. ;o
