There are people who are very good in listening. Others are so comfortable talking and sharing with whatever experiences they have, but are not good listeners. I'm a talker... really... =) but some people come and share their experiences with me. I didn't know I can be a listener,too but friends say I am. How about you? Are u a born talker? or a listener? or perhaps both? =)

I'm constantly being told that I'm a listener by all my friends - if any of them have any problems, then they always come to me - even if it's something one of our mutual friends has done to upset them, they know I'll try and talk it through with the other person - apparently, I'm very tactful, lolz! I mean, don't get me wrong, I DO talk to my friends, but I don't really share problems with them, as such - I'd rather work through my problems on my own, to be honest.

Hi babiixgirl! Isn't not hard if you don't talk about your problems to some friends? When i have a problem, I really find it difficult keeping it to myself. It's very heavy emotionally. So sometimes. I just have to run away with a friend and talk about what i feel or whatever problems I have to at least ease up a bit. Thanks for sharing though!

i don't maybe neither.... because there times that i can be a good listener for people that i'm comfortable listening to,which i think is bad sometimes because i tend to be selective. But there are just times that i just need to shut my ears and just pretend that i'm listening because what goes to my ears are not worth listening to or are bad for my health :-) LOL. Sometimes i can be a good talker, again with people i'm comfortable talking to.... as in :-)

I think I'm both, most of the time a listener, though. I'm the type of person my friends come to to tell me their woes and for support. But I also enjoy being a talker.
