yes, these are good qualities rolled into one. there is a need to be able to listen well in order to be able to communicate rightly with the folks around us. these two will always come in handy together.

I'm quite a good listener I dare to say. In the sense that I'm always available to listen, whenever a friend needs it. I can sometimes feel they just want to tell something, so I help them getting started and listen. Yet sometimes I can't stop myself from interrupting, already giving an opinion without letting them finish, or even worse (which I hate when others do lol), finishing the story for them, how I think things went. Yet I try very hard to stop myself from doing that, as I'm annoyed myself when people do it.
It may sound selfish, but I also can't stand it when friends don't listen to you in return. I mean, you've listened to them when they needed it, but when you really need to talk, they're not listening, talking about their own unimportant stuff.(I mean that moment, I have problems I want to talk about, and they keep on chattering away, gossiping and stuff)

I'm always a good listener, because i always lend my ears to frenz in need, regardless of all matters.. hehe ^_^ I like to listen to their problems, and i will only talk when really necessary.. Because i dun wanna interrupt them, also, i wanna asborb as much information as i can b4 i say anything ^_^
Plus, being a listener is never easy because it can get quite bored at times when the same things keep happening.. lol =D But still, as long as they are my frenz, and they need me, i will sure to be there ^_^

According to my friends, I'm quite a good listener. They said that I always listen to reason and I always allow them to talk their heart out before I give my own views and opinions on their problems.

well my friends say that i am a good listener..but personally i feel that whenever someone says something wrong i do protest it irrespectiv of the person who he is..
I feel being good listener is surely a good charactwer..we should listen other people view.. but is someone is wrong it is always our duty to rectify them..
orelse they will continue doing so..
wrong thing, words, works should always be protested..

Yes I am a quiet listener, because if someone wants to talk about a subject (whether it one you agree with or not) they will usually have a certain look in their eyes or have certain body language. If you actually listen to the person who is talking you can tell they just have something they need to vent about, and having another person to bounce their thoughts off of. Therefore don't ignore them they could be trying to tell you something important.

I am equally a listener and a talker. I know when to talk and when to listen. I can be extremely both, too. ...I get bored when I talk a lot and the other don't put much effort in talking. I listen because it's part of my training and job. Good thing that I am like that.

i am a good listener, rajfoe. but, i am also a big talker. this is what is causing me lose so much time talking to some people i know when i meet them at the streets at home or their homes.
to indulge about having to listen to another one's story or complaints, is easy to do. i just keep my mouth shut and keep my ears open. when i do that the person i am with is sure that he/she has my full attention.
the problem comes when it is my time to talk. the guy and i can have hours more for a good conversation to follow.

Hi There! I can say that I am a good listener. I can keep quiet and just listen to my friends story or to anyone. I don’t have to comment on things but just listen. I usually give advices or comments when I know they need one but if not, I just sit with them and listen.
Goodluck! Thanks for the discussion! Happy New Year and Happy HOlidays! Cheers!

For the most part I am a good listener when it comes to my friends. I have to admit if I am truly not interested in what is being said I sometimes tend to daydream and make it appear as though I am listening. This is something I tend to avoid doing though. I figure my friends always listen to me, so I owe them the same courtesy.
