I'm horrible at active listening. I think part of it is because of my ADHD, but maybe that is just an excuse.

No definitely not an excuse, but you have the awareness to know that it's something you struggle with so can devote extra effort into it and improve your listening ability little by little. Most people are oblivious to the fact that theyvare bad listeners. Modern society does not help where we are constantly bombarded with stimulus vying for our attention, meaning we all mostly have shorter attention spans than a generation ago..
It's a struggle, but I do my best. My wife could have told me all along I am a bad listener, but I think that is a bit universal!
