Do people seem to pour out their heart to you?

I have noticed throughout my life that people really seem to pour out their heart to me. Everyone, from my dearest friends to complete strangers that I may run into at a store, or a business, tells me their problems and even many times, very personal things about themselves. I suppose I am a good listener, and am non-judgemental- but why do you think that they feel that I am a good person to share these things with? Does this happen to any of you as well?

Yes, dear friend, they do it to me too. So many times when I'm riding the bus, total strangers will open their hearts and minds to me, and I end up doing it back. Guess we're both good listeners...and people must trust us to tell us such personal things. It's kinda a good feeling!!

Exactly, it is like that with me as well. Even at airports and other busy places, I have shared bits of people's lives and their troubles. I must must admit to feeling honored that they seem to want to open up to me.

Maybe you have a friendly face. You know, it's an impression. I do have friends like that. They gave you friendly impression even on the first time you meet them. Therefore, you feel secure to tell your feeling and other things to them. maybe you are one of them.

Maybe that is it. I do try to be friendly, and I do genuinely care about people. I also try to help whenever I can.

It happens to be alot and I am often been told things that no one knows. Some of my friends call me Messiah who is out there to help with with everything. They know to get a sympathic shoulder I am best of them all. And its like a gift from Allah, that people trust you and feel attractive to you.
