Do you really listen to others?

Sometimes I do sometimes I don't,It depends on the subject and the way that person talks to me.I always try to be polite,but if I totally disagree,I will let them know.On the other and,some people start talking and talk a lot without saying much.Those I tune out,since they do not really need your attention,they like to hear themselves talking,so a nod,or a sound of approval will satisfy them.

Yes, you are right. And it is sometimes hard to think even a piece of advice to a person who is just willing to share the problems but not listening to the suggestions or advices of others. I do love to listen to peoples' stories co'z i can get some ideas and solutions for my own problems. But why are these people keep telling their problems if they don't want to be helped. We can listen to them but if the story is always the same then we get bored, uninterested, and even memorized the lines that a person might said, which is funny right? Did it happen to you Dominique?

I really do try to listen to what others have to say. I might not always agree with what they are saying, but I will still take the time to listen to what they have to say. I will still take the time to do so.

Hi Dominique! Listen here you mean by follow to or not the advice right??? It depends on situations. If they just babbling about things which are unimportant to pay attention to it then I refused to listen to them. If they give advice which I think I really need it and applicable, will makes things better then I will follow it. I think first before listen and follow to anything they said.(^^)

I always listen and let them talk. Most of the time I am against what has been said but I won't interrupt. I appreciate that the advice was given to me because they care about me. I listen in every word they say but then in the end, it will still be what I want that rules. I may let them talk, but the end will still be my on decision for my life.

I always try to listen but when the person starts showing they don't really know what they're talkign bout or start being repetitive I start zoning out and it kind of makes me feel bad after I notice that I zoned out when they were trying to talk to me.

I listen to people's advice and suggestions, but in reality, I have to find out for myself whether the advice they are giving is true or not. Sometimes it is, and somtimes it isn't. Sometimes I can know from my own experience and not need to take advice, and sometimes know that such advice is wrong. _Derek

I always listen to my friends problem. After that, i would ask if she would like some suggestions and would give , if she says so. But if that problem is something that is being talked about over and over again, and have given my piece of advise yet she's not following it, i give up and tell her to shut up.

Hi Dominique I am a very good listener. I always try to listen carefully what other people say.But most of people talking that gives no meaning to us . They are only trying to superiority over people. But some people relay give good advise.

Honestly, there are times that I really do not listen to others' advice. I make it to the point that I listen to them when they do me a favor of sharing their piece of cent that I'm analyzing the situation first. It really is not necessary to follow everyone's advise but trim down those advises and you can come up with the best solution to your problem.

I always try to sort out things by myself and only ask for advice when I'm really confused after some time's struggle and consideration. So in that case,I would listen to people's advice,however,I won't take the advices from who doesn't really understand my situation. I think most of the people who are willing to give advice really care about us,at least at that moment,so at least we need to show some respect to them. Advices from the elder and experienced people I would always listen to.

If someone is sincere in giving you his/her advice, it would be rude if you act like you don't care. Of course the one giving the advice would understand that its just an advice that you may or may not follow. These suggestions are given to you in good will, it is only proper that you accept them with all your heart and try to consider them. In the end, it will be your choice and it will be your life that will be affected not theirs so it is always up to you if you want to follow their suggestions or not.

Listening completes a conversation and usually it is the most important part of communicating with someone. Other people may or may not give you the things that you would like to hear. Yet it is important to hear someone's voice regarding your issue or problem. It doesn't follow that you have to follow what others might suggest but it does not harm if you hear out others opinions.

I think the way you did is right and I am not a good listener. When I make my own decision,it is hard for me to change if there is other people give me different suggestion.My mom always say different things to me.I want to find a job in trade company while she insisted in that I should be a teacher.I did not listen to her and go my way to be an office worker.I find someone I love while she did not like and said that guy is poor who did not earn a lot money and have no house. I do not care whether he is poor or rich ,I just love him because I feel happy with him and without him I feel so upset.So there is a lot fighting between me and her.It really make me mad and tired

I can listen to whar others have to say. It might be something useful to put under consideration. But at the final decision I base it on my own intentions. If I know what will be the best for myself I do it. Is there some information, that someone know of that is important for me, than I am grateful for telling me.

it is important tp listen first than talk and give your views on any topic .when we,ve got to attend to many other details and many other dimensions that don't meet the eye.and dats why we should be listening.Listening is just not hearing what peole utter or talk.It actually involves what people or some one has to say.so there's a saying if you don't listen you don't understand human beings.It is through listening we gather wisdom and not by talking.In other words if you ask twice you have not listened.

hi:) It depends on the person that giving me advice, if it's my parents and my best-friend then I try my best to listen and follow them because I know it's for my own good, but if it's only someone I know, I think twice first before I followed whatever they said.

I'm always a listener and listen to everything anyone tells me. If it's valuable advice, I'm all ears and I'll always nod and look at them in the eye to show them I'm attentive because ignoring them is kinda rude. Even if I didn't exactly catch what they said, I would still nod and answer them just to make them feel acknowledged.

If i know that someone is genuinely sincere to what they say, then I would really try to listen to them. But, usually when someone gives me an advice even though that i dont like it, I really try to listen to them and give some feedback. It would be just simply rude if we dont listen to them. I guese when someone is trying to talk to you and give some advice maybe they are really that sincere because when you come to think to it they would not want to talk to you if they dont.

For me, I always listen to what others say. However, if I will apply what they say to my life is a different issue for me. I like hearing various inputs on how a situation can be handled, just to see something from a different point of view. But if, in the end, I feel like what I think I should do is right, then I will disregard the advice and do whatever I feel will do more for me and benefit me more.
