If you are a good listener, then you will win all arround you. Everybody wants to be a friend of a good listener. Why? Because, we all like to talk and we all always look for a good listener friend. What do you think? Am i correct?

Hi Borhan, I completely agree with you. A good friend not only listens to whatever you say but also corrects you if you are wrong. A good listener is welcome by all and he/she definitely learns something or the other by way of listening. Keep listening to your friends and give them good suggestions whenever they require. Happy listening!!!

I agree with you. Good friends are good listener, they give good suggestions, they rectify you once you are going wrong.

Being a good listener is very important, but it is also important to be able to keep the conversation going.

A good listener should at times participate to give some leads in the conversations.

Good friends are good listeners, there is no doubt about that. My best friend is a good listener. She patiently listens to all the things I say and come up with some suggestions or opinions. She is very clam and helps me to break lot of my stress. My husband gave me the cerificate that I am a good listener. I think it is something he likes in me. Good discussion.

A good listener will always have people by their side. The word lonely will never ever cross their mind! The reason why I agree with this is from my personal experience. Since I was a kid, I'd always look for people who can lend me their ears so I can tell and share with them my happiness and sometimes sorrows. Especially during the growing up period. So now that I've grown up, I try my best to be someone's good listener as I know people need a good listener in their life:) A friend of mine once told me that I'm the best listener she can ever find because I was there for her when she needed someone to talk to even in the middle of the night. I listened to her and consoled her until the problem is solved. A really good listener is also a good secret keeper. It's really good to have at least one good listener in your life. It will definitely brighten your day;)

Most of the time people don't really want to seek advise but simply someone whom they can outpour their feelings and emotions without the fear of being judged or misunderstood. And being a good listener, we create an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding for our beloved friends.

Yes, you are very correct. True friends needs to be a good listener, else they loose the term "true". Have a great day.
