dou you think you are a good listener?

I think I'm not. There are times before when my best friend would ask me for advice. I would already jump to conclusion and rant with my hearts content. I would do that before he can finish his speech. I realized that I'm not being a good listener to him. I tried to change my attitude slowly. I think I'm already progressing.

Not really. I end up blaming them for their miseries. If they get into trouble then it's really their fault.

yes, i'm a good listner. But u are right, good knwolegde and encouraging advice, can be gotten from quality experience.

yeah, if one wants to speak, he must first learn to listen up.

Yes, though I was not earlier now I do listen. Many people are there who like themselves to be heard. If what they have to share or speak on is really interesting and seeking help kinda I listen unless they are done. But I avoid who are too much talkative and always up to blowing their own trumpet.

I have always been a good listener but a became a better listener as I got older when I realized a few things. It's important to be an active listener and know when to comment or advise and when to be silent. Some people automatically try to fix the problem instead of just listening when that is really what the person needs, someone to hear them. It is hard to be a good listener when you have no one to listen to you. If you know someone who talks all the time instead of listening this person probably feels that they have to fight to be heard. Another thing is when you are talking and someone mistakes the situation as a discussion that requires their input. A lot of people like giving their opinions on things and don't understand this isn't always necessary. They don't understand that some things are about give and take. I think the best listeners are people who spend time being quiet and who observe the world. They are calmer in themselves and therefore have the ability to really hear others. Some people are even good enough to hear what is not being said.

I am a good listener, at least I try to be. I not only listen, but I also try to give advice when I am asked for it. Soemtimes, people seek advice, other times, they just need a friendly ear. I try to do both.

Hi, I think I am a better listener than speaker. I think I am one who can keep secrets of others. I am not an eloquent speaker hence I prefer to listen to other peoples problems or happiness. However, I would provide the necessary response while being a listener.

yes, i am a good listener. I listen intently everytime my friends talk, i never bat in because listening is very important to me, i want other people to listen to me too when i am talking.

ya... I believe I good listener... because every my friends has sad or have problems they talk to me... I know maybe I can not give them solution... but I can be good listener for them... because maybe they just want talk or to be hear....

I'd like to think I am, at least I try to be a good listener. I have few very close friends, but I find that I always get involved with the worries they have that I know about. I hate to find out one of them is hurting or bothered because of something that's going on. I want to try to fix their problems, which isn't always plausable. I try to listen because I like it when they listen to me.

yeah im a really good listener, my friends love that about me, even my mom talks to me, because i listen to what she has to say and i try helping out. i don't know why, i think i just have nothing better to do so i listen to other people talking. and try helping them out.

Mystic888soul Yes, it's like that with me too- I do enjoy helping others however you probably too have found it can be draining to our energy as well that it is important for our cups to be filled and receivable to give. I feel I do have good listening skills. In what other ways are you using those talents and skills?... Have you ever considered counseling, teaching, or being a paid mentor? we have two ears and one mouth, one voice who can be heard by many.

yes, i always listen to friends problems and help them solve them

I'm sorry, did you say something? Just kidding.

Yes I think I'm a good listener, whenever my friends or colleagues tell me about their stories or opinions, I always try to listen carefully, so I know what they are thinking, what they need, and give them my advice accordingly. This is not only a way of respect others, but also a way to make friends.

I have always considered myself to be a good listener.

I think i am a good listener to my friends.most of them loved to talk with me if they were sad or got some troubles.i always tried my best to give some advice even if i couldn't help a lot.say out is good way to take stress away i think.so just let your good friends say anything to you .that is my point.take care,my lotter.

one thing u need to know is that there are very few listeners out there,,,,people don't like listening to peoples problems ,,i can say that this is a gift that u have ,,i am just like u ,i like listening to people and some times offer to them whatever advice i may have ,my advice is that u continue doing that,,one day god will reward u for your kindness towards people ,,,so continue with the good work..god bless you...

yes im if my friends need talk something to me or somebady they alway call out this a piece work i just liten up not talk
