How can you say that you are a good listener?

I think I am also a good listener. I try to share my time to others by listening intently to what they say even if I find it boring sometimes. It is just my way of showing respect to my friends or family.

I am the one that most of my acquaintances come to, to get a load of their chest. I do listen and I always share a great deal of wisdom. Sometimes I must admit that I do get a bit perturbed as some of them are always complaining about the same things. The beauty of my nature is that I have the patience and always try to help where ever I can. I never hurt there feelings in any way, if asked I am very straight forward but always reminding them to do what is best for them.

in a way if that is what u like people telling u there problam then u r right i also like to listen a lot but there is a time u dont want to think what is happning in the world it happnes as it is and in time

Listening to others is an ability of a person, I dont think I am good listener but my friends always share their problems and thought with me, even I have many secrets of them. This require trust of your friend on you. For good listener it is necessary to be a trustworthy and keep the secrets of other, if s/he is not a secret keeper then I think no one ll share his/her problems with him.
