Keep on listening

Most of the time, troubled people needs someone who would listen to them without judging them more than someone who would give them an advice. You see, most likely they already know what to do, they already made a decision as to what they will do with their problem. They just need someone to be a good listener and to make them feel that someone cares enough to hear their side.

Hi nita04, Usually, most of my friends would call me or meet me just to talk about something good that happened to them and most of the times to talk about their problems that they currently have, even though i don't usually get a lot of "thank you" from them it is enough for me to think or feel, that at least, at some point i was able to help them ease the pain they are suffering and to make them feel that they are not alone and that they have me or someone that they can talk to specially in times of troubles. I also feel honored to think that they trust me into letting me know of those little secrets and things that they don't usually talk to in public so yes i definitely agree with you that being a "listener" is a blessing and also a skill that should make us proud. Happy Mylotting!

I am also a good listener and try to give positive advice always. I know it helps a lot when you get things that are troubling off your chest.
