Are you good at listening?

it is always best to listen and wait that way you have the whole story before you say anything as you could say something that may upset the person that your talking too good luck

I think Im a good listener. I have several people who come to my cafe for coffee and talk to me about their problems. i always listen and try to help them here.

I try to be, I'm more of a talker, too much of one, that's telling isn't it? I do listen to my kids though, they need to be heard, even when they are just babbling about something I don't know anything about or want to care about. They are trying to express themselves the best way they know how and its important to listen to them, especially when they are learning. We have two ears and one mouth for a reason, we need to listen more.

I think I'm a good listener. I like hearing about opinions and stories. Oh, well, sometimes I just want to say the things that are on my mind, when I get too excited, but most of the times I really take the time and listen to other people, because for me, that's the basis of a healthy relationship.

I am not sure, but I am more of a listener than a talker. When I was younger, I always get myself in trouble because I am not good with words and I end up saying something that isn't even exactly what I meant in the first place. It's like I always happen to have the wrong choice of words. Now, I listen and then only when I was prompted to respond, or when my advice was solicited do I speak up.

I take it in and respond,this annoys my friends a bit and i am trying to get rid of this habit though it is not working very well at the moment,i wish i was like my frnd,he can listen all day long and not talk at all!

I've found that if I always wait patiently for others to finish their conversation, I don't get a chance to say anything. I'm sometimes asked why I 'm so quiet. By the time I've thought of a nice, appropriate response, the moment has past.

When a friend comes to me and needs somebody to talk to, I always lend my ears and give her my shoulder to cry on. I make sure I do understand what she is going through and then give her the best advice I can think of. I think listening should always be a part of any communication. It is not enough to just talk. Communication is a two-way street....always.

I am good at listening all the time and if it is the topic of my choice ,i listen to it all day and i keep glued to it all the time ideally

Hi 34 Momma I have been told I am a good listener, I just find it is polite to listen and then respond. I like to have all the facts and I have always found that a person can learn more if they listen.

hii... I am a good listener. First i listen everything and then respond. My friends somtimes thinks that i am getting bored. lol. But i think we should listen eveything. When we listen somthing half might create misunderstanding and create a new problem. lol...

I cannot say that I am a good listener but I must say that once I hear I can completely understand what he are talking about, so that I can respond clearly that without noticing any confuse for him.

I think I do that sometimes instead of really listening I thinking of what to say next. Especially in the heat of an argument or debate. My pet peeve is listening to someone who is boring. Just droning on and on about nothing. Those people I just tune out all together.

It's always be better if you are a good listener and of course a good adviser, it makes your friend have a feeling of calmness because they can express what they want to express if you are always there to listen to them. It always nice to listen first than to discuss it even though he/she is not yet finished talking.

Mostly I listen until it is my turn. I try to polite everywhere but there are exceptions. If it is serious enough I can with effort interrupt and raise my voice. I do wait though for the right moment and try not to let emotion take over.

People generally tell me I am a good listener. I have had a lot of practice, tools, and patience for people. My teacher once said there is a reason why we have two ears and one mouth. I usually listen and wait for my chance to speak. If unsure, I generally ask questions, such as what the other person want me to do. Sometimes I look for non verbal cues. It really depends on who I am talking to, my location, why I am talking to the other person, when, and what I am talking about (the 5 W's - who, what, when, where, and why).
