Instead of listening to what the person is saying, I pay attention to what the person is feeling while they speak.

To me it seems like the words are frequently used as a shoddy and ineffective means of conveying feelings, even when the actual words have nothing to do with feelings.

So I skim the words, and pay attention to the feelings.

@TBRS1 This seems like step 1. What do you do next when forming a response? I do that also.

@TBRS1 And If I don't, it's because I cannot read the emotion. I have a hard time with that sometimes if it is not overwhelmingly clear, like if a person joyfully starts a random conversation with me or they overexpress their behaviours.

You don't need to read them. There aren't that many.

You only have to identify which one, and why it's directed at you.
