I am not sure whether or not I am a good listener. Sometimes, my friend always whine about his life, his work, I just pretend to be a good supporter. Even though I disagree with him, I just be there listen to his whining and discontentment. Other times, I tried to share my thought, but he told me that I didn't really listen to what he tried to say. So, forget that, I listen to it, but I won't add any of my idea to it.
Are you a good listener and a supporter too?

hi ,clorissa ,I am sure I am a good listener,but I think you situation is distressing,this gives you a very embarrassing situation to be a good listener,because you give your friend any ideas will treat that you do not really listen to what he tried to say by him/her. am I said right? I understand your feelings, if I am your that friend ,I would not do it like that ,I would not always tell you my whining ,there is no one is always willing to listen to those words .hey ,clorissa , you are right ,maybe your friend should be a change , it is that he/she do not want listen what you say, he/she just is worried about his own feelings ,do not care about other people's feelings,this is not right.

sometimes you can like a good listener to your friend if your friend is need good feedback from others.
you just only focus on your friend discussion, and maybe you can suggest for resolving their problem.
your suggest maybe enough for helping your friend and can make their happy.
you can perform much better on your friend.

I've learned that some people just want to feel sorry for themselves. I have no respect for people like that. I don't mind listening to someone if they have a real problem and they are at least trying to resolve their problem. The worst thing anyone can do during a hard time is allow themselves to fall into a depression. Their is a lot more good in life then their is bad. Don't enable your friend, it sounds like he just wants to feel sorry for himself.

Yes, I am a good listener and supporter. If I think I have a good idea to help them I will tell the person. If they want to hear my ides. I usually tell I has an idea and ask if they want to hear it, if not I am there to support them.
