Are a good listener?

I do agree that listening is an important part of being a good listener but knowing when to respond is also important. If you just listen without either verbal or physical feedback the person speaking may well feel your not really listening.

Hi jho_anne2426, Yes I am a good listener, when people come to me with their problems I listens to them and that is why my friends nick name an agony auntie. Tamara

yes,i think i am good listener,people love to come to me when they are to talk about something.

Since I have always been rather shy and introverted, I have always listened well. I consider myself a good listener and others have told me I am. I don't think I am these days, as much as I used to be. Listening is good. It is amazing what you learn from listening to people and observing unnoticed! :-)

I think it is more important for you to understand the other party than merely listening. I admit sometimes I blank out and don't really listen to the other party, but that's rare. When my friends talk to me about their problems, I will try and hear them out first, then try and digest what they are trying to say. To show that you are a good listener, hmmmm, you can say, paraphrase or summarize the whole conversation? I've got no idea. LOL.

I am a very good listener and objective.I enjoy listening. However.. at times I feel like I am always the listener. When I do have an issue and need someone to listen to me or offer feedback...it usually revolves around the individual diverting the discussion back towards his or her own situation...where again I play the role of listener.

i show that i'm a good listener when people feel good after talking or venting to me. i feel that i have accomplished the mission of giving them someone that will just sit back and listen.
