i recently meet some people around the community. as i was sharing my thoughts to them, some were not listening and some is also talking. i do not know about them. i mean, i listen carefully when they talk and share some ideas. i felt bad, it seems that they are not respecting me. how about you?did you experience such setting?

I probably would have to say that I'm a good listener. At least, I think I'm a better listener than talker. Though I think that I can give some good advice at times. Perhaps not the best advice, but some reasonably good advice.

Yeah I experienced such thing and I think that the listener is not interested to the topic I shared. So I have no choice except to change the topic. The interesting one or not have any effort to talk at all.

I can say that i am the listener type of person. I don't know when i started to just listen but i guess its because of my shyness back in my high school years wherein i'll just smile and listen to my classmates and friends when they talk about anything and ask for advices. I can't say that i'm a good adviser because sometimes, i tend to overcome things. Eventhough listening could be very tiring especially when the person doesn't know how to shut up,i just smile and say ahh.

Well I could say that i'm a good listener and not that really good talker, but I can advice. I preferred to be a good listener than to be a good talker or a blabber.

I'd say i'm a listener, i'd rather listen than talk, that's the same reason we have two ears and one mouth. (: Although when it comes to discussions, i like to express my point rather than just simply listen what others have to say.

you are right, we all have two ears and one mouth. and use it when it is time to use is, especially in discussions.
