she said that one of the main tipoffs was that I seemed like I had studied and practiced active listening, rather than having grown up never thinking of listening as a skill to be learned.

What's the difference? What exactly do you do and sound like, and what would somebody who it came to naturally do and sound like?

Well, if I knew exactly how what I do differs from someone who learned naturally, I would try to do that differently, but she was pretty vague about it. It sounded like she thought I was too consistent about using physical and audible "I'm listening" cues though.
