I tend to listen but not say too much

It's not easy to be a listener esp a good listener. alot of people would like to speak but not listen to others. I am a goooood listener..

Its good to be a listener and is good to know when to be quite. The question is do you have the sincerity and courage to know when to speak out?

Gossip can be a nasty business. Good idea not to even get involved. Nothing coming back on you could be the least of your worries. Depending on the subject matter ofcourse. No comment is a good rule too. Gossip has brought killers to justice and solved many a crime. I would think twice after listening to the jist of it.

I agree with you jugsjugs. I try to listen when I am being told something about somebody and not give my opinion. Sometimes it is just better to listen because if you say your opinion you are going to be right in the middle of it. It will come back on you. That is why I try to stay out of conversations like that. Have a great weekend.

That is exactly the way to do it. People love to talk about others instead of minding their own business. This happens alot and I try my best to stay out of things like this. The way I see it is if they do this in front of me what are they saying about me when I'm not around. So the best thing for me is just to not get involved to that extent.

hello jugsjugs, I have learned that one way to being a good communicator is to listen carefully, and never answer questions before you any idea in your mind. When many of your communicating with each other, I think you should listen carefully and after one person finish their opinion you should follow up soon, so others will listen to you... and after you shar your opinion, you will see other people comments on your opinion, this way you may know more about what other think.

You very smart!!!! there's allot people should do the same as you.They could learn something and not talk so much. :} cd

I am this way also, but I also try to discourage people talking to me about others in a negative way, I will try to change the subject if I can. There is already to much negative energy int he world and I don't want to add to it, which you will do even if you just listen. Blessings

Hi,It seems you are the best listener and best listeners some times best spokesperson also.Have a nice time.

i think it is good to not say anything if you are not sure. because during that time you are listening only one side and can not guess every thing and comment on that. whatever you say can be told indirectly to the person whom you are talking about and it could hurt.

I also do the same, but after the discussion, that's the time i speak and give comments but they are good ones. Its not bad to keep it only for yourself but in life, we need to interact with each other so that we may build a relationship. Im talkative most of the time, but always we should think first before we talk.
