Listening

I think that sometimes I am a better listener than a talker. Of course, listening properly is a dying quality with many people right in the world. There are just going to be a lot of times where people just want to vent with a person standing right next to them, listening to their every word. If you want to vent, then vent away. Of course, I do hope that some of them don't expect me to really wave my magic wand and come up with a mystical, magical solution to say the very least. There are just going to be a lot of times where I think people don't expect solutions. They just really like to just get everything out there out loud and it is a free form of therapy.

Yes, you are correct. All persons generally want to tell their problems to a good listener, even without expecting listener's comments on the problems. They feel relaxed by saying the issues to someone who listen it patiently without objections to the problems. This particularity to listen the issues of others patiently brings a lot of friends to one. But sometimes so much boring moments would be resulted by such lengthy talks.

I ever was at your situation. It's better listening than talking. There are almost no harm to listen to someone until you only know how to deal with them especially secrecy or secret things. We can't guarantee keeping the secret on our own mind unless you can keep our mouth shut up what we've just heard a story from someone. It's difficult not to be talking when it's about to tell the truth and fair to someone.

I doubt if they do so because you are a good listener.. mostly people do because: birds of a feather stick together. I think you have something in common. And yes you are right.. if people start talking/telling they mostly already have the answer/solution.

i was use to listen to people and give advice too. i also really like to learn from them to what are the things that can help, not only to myself but to others as well that i usually speak to. Being with them and listening is part of the support we can give. Being by their side unloading all the emotions they have. People actually love to talk. and talking is better when someone is listening.

I agree, many people just want someone to "listen" to them. It could be any situation, problems at work, problems with the boyfriend, etc..Sometimes just hearing ourselves talk, we can actually put the "problem" into perspective and solve it ourselves. Often times all we need is a genuine nod, that yes we are being heard. I think most people just want a little acknowledgement, and not necessarily advice, but for someone to actually "listen" to them without judgment.

I know what you mean because I love it too, I sometimes motivate, fascinates with other peoples lives. Not that I love a gossips but sometime I look at them and been imagining to put my shoes on theirs if I can handle such situations. Although I love to listen but I barely talk what I know to others so that I can protect the lives of those whom I known.

Continue listening to others you have a talent & you it to help Take Care

I love listening as well.People often feel better about something when they just tell someone about it.
