do you consider yourself a good listener?

yes i am good listeneer. by nature i talk less myself and listen more. i also give patient ear to friends' problems.

I'm always the one who listen to my friends problems. Actually I'm not good in solving other problems. sometimes I talk to myself that why my friends always come to me and tell me about their problems. Sometimes my friends ask me to keep their problem as a secret and they never told anybody about their problem. If a secret...yes you can trust me. i can keep it till I die. That why my friends trust me soo much.

Yes, I can say that I am good listener. I listen to my dear friends' problem with great patience, so as that I could provide them some sort of suggestions. I find that no a days nobody wants to 'listen', everyone wants to speak and tell his/her side of story. So, if anyone finds any good 'listener', who simply starts without a break. It is a human tendency that we just wish to narrate our experiences and happenings to others to share our moments of joys and sorrows. I also do the same. For finding a good listener, we keep on targetting our near and dear ones and when we find any to our expectations, we just go to him/her, in case of any problem. So you must be a very patient and skillfull listener to your friends, that is why they keep on coming to you.

hmm i think in your case, were the same...hehehe all my friends came to me with they have problems, i don't know why maybe because i will not back fight them and also i always forget what they say...hehehe i think one of the advantage, why my friends came to me its because i listen to them and I'm fun of giving advices!

hello kittiemarrou,i would say yes to your question.[hehehe]like you,my friends keep coming back to me just to tell me their problems which i appreciate anyway.it's feels good to be of help with your friends and even to those who are not really close to you.everytime they share me their problem,i just try to open my heart listen to what they are saying and gives advice when i feel i need to.but we have to be very careful with giving advise,sometimes you have to be smart and careful of what you will tell them in reaction of what they've just told you.also,we need not to be biased..always be fair with our judgement.it's better to spend time listening to their problem than being in their shoes..you know what i mean..?,..sure you do..hehhehe heaps dear!

yeah i say im a good listener, people always come to me for advice and stuff and i always have to be patient but i like to help people

LOL... I run into those "problems" now & then... For some reason, people would tell me their problems for no apparent reason at all... I feel bad at times because I'm not in a position to help them... I do tell them what my feelings are about their problems... That's the least I can do, even if it means being brutal at times, tell them what I think of it in brutal honesty... I've had people walk away from me saying I'm a cold heartless person just to turn around few days later to tell me I was right & they needed to hear that & thanked me for it... I understand it's not the most delicate way to solve some issues but that's why most of my friends & my girl friend come to me, they know no matter what, I'll give them an straight honest answer... That being said, I'd like to think I'm a good listener... My problem is, I've been told, I approach a lot of things without feelings, or so it seems to other people... I guess it wouldn't hurt to change my ways to be little more softer side...
