Selective listening involves only hearing parts of what the speaker is saying. Advising involves giving advice, which may not necessarily involve deep listening. Presence is simply being present with the person, but not necessarily actively listening. Mentoring involves giving guidance and support, but may not necessarily involve listening to the mentee's problems.
