Are you always a listener?

I am one that always listens and I can understand the friends who only call when there is something wrong. To me they are selfish people but even thought I know that is why they call I still listen. I don't put myself first. I can tell you that this gets me ready for when my children get older cause I hope that they will know that they can always come to me if need to. I consider it a blessing that people come to me about their problems, this gives me a chance to give my insight on the situation. I do think that some people don't know how to call and say hey today was awesome lol. I make sure that I let everyone know when times are good and bad, people love to hear about good news as well but I can tell you that people love drama and feed off it. Well I have blabbed long enough great posting you have here. I will be back =)

i think i am. i am more of a listener in person, i do not talk much especially if i am not comfortable with the person, even if we are friends already i tend not to open up right away. :D

then they are not real friends,real friends will listen to your problems,like you do with them,and they will try to help you sort them out,i listen to my friends and i know that if i had a problem then they would listen to me,but i don't have problems very often

i don't know why many people are comfortable talking to me about their problems. sometimes it becomes the reason why i become close with them, because they share their problems with me, but i love listening, and learning from their experiences, i sometimes give advice if i can. but with regards with my own problems, i am never comfortable sharing it with other people. sometimes i share it with my bestfriend, in some other times, i just try to keep it.

I found myself to be a good listener in such as case sensitive things. I would love to listen to other when she or he speak about their problem or the things that bother him or her. I am into the type of conversation seriously. I always tried to be a good listener, but when the conversation came into finding solution. I sometimes become talkative and try giving the best opinion I have best offered. I also gave idea on looking the ways how to solve the problems. I am also a good listener when my parents told not to do this or do that. It is not good to obey our parents command, and as far as I know it is for the best for us to be a kids.

I am always a good listener, so that I will know what to do.

I can say that I am a listener and a good one too. I really love to listen than to speak. I think that I would make more mistake speaking than listening. I am a talkative person when it comes to certain concerns, but when it comes to subjects that I am interested and have no ideas I tend to listen and learn. Inasmuch as I would love to listen. In an argument I would like to stand for my rights, But I would listen to the other side first before I do the talking. I believe that a conversation is between two person exchange of ideas and not a one person ideas. Have a nice day!

I would like to think that people think i am always a listener. I don't have to be the speaking all of the time. Listening to people is much more important to me.

Not at all times. There are times that I am a listener. Like for example a friend has a problem, I always listen to her first before giving her an advice. It is good to listen first before we speak so we can give our best ideas on every matter. If we don't listen we might end up giving bad advises.

No, sometimes I'm the speaker but I'm always the listener. I am a good listener .. My friends always talks to me if they have problems and I gave them some piece of advices

Look for other friends. People are not worthy to be called friends if they dont know how to listen.

For me, sometimes i'm listener and sometimes i'm not. Depends on the discussion. Coz sometimes they talk nonsense. If my friends needs to cry and have listener i'm always there.

Most of us are like that, only sharing unhappy problems or stuffs but never have any share in profits or opportunities. There might be few whom does the opposite but it's very rare. Everybody needs a listening ear, wants to be comforted and especially feel that there's someone out there who cares. I'm just like u, a listener. But when I'm in trouble, very few of them will actually bother about me. Luckily we had a long friendship dating back to almost 10 years, they will decline me politely instead of ignoring me completely.

I too am better at listening even now, though I've taught myself to become a sharer/ talker whenever it becomes necessary. I am just always cautious when I enter into some conversations.

I do understand about your condition. Well, it also happens to me, but not a lot. Some friends of mine only talk to me if they've got problem, but never share with me if they are happy. But only two or three, the rest are good friends. I think helping others by becoming a listener is a good deed. I am happy doing that, especially if I can release or help them be happier by just listening to them. Well, if you don't mind, just continue doing that, but don't take it seriously. Just answer if you need to answer, and don't think about your friends. Just listen, that's all.

I am in a serious relationship for last 2 years ,I never was a serious listener but had to inculcate this habit within me .It is a good habit to be honest.

You can't avoid that, my friend. There are people like that. When they are happy they forget you. But when they feel lonely they called or asking your help... They are not a good friend... Have a great day!

Sometimes i also like to be a speaker.. because only listener is not a quality also a good speaker is also a good quality .. so now i tried to enhance this things in myself.. because i think i am a good listener but not a good speaker.. so now i am try to improve my speaking skills..
