Are you a good listener? Do You listen when people are talking or your mind is busy with other things?
If you are a good listener, the more you gain more friends and the more people will like you. People who are good listeners develop a good bonding with the people around her.
It is always good to be a listener especially to those who need someone to listen to them. Being a good listener will make you more friends.
Would you say you are a good listener?

I don't talk a whole lot, but I'm a pretty good listener. I may not necessarily have any advice on the matter, but I'm always there to just sit and listen to the other person. Friends and classmates often come to me with their problems and stuff.
Actually one time, I had this group project that consisted of me and four other people. Two of them told me how they didn't like the other two being so demanding, and the other two didn't like them for not doing enough work. It was actually pretty funny.
But I began to realize that I have a limit to how much I can listen. If someone is talking for far too long, I realize that I start to tune in and out and think about other stuff. Luckily, they're not necessarily looking for my opinion, so I'm just nodding along and agree with them occasionally.

I do listen but I have this nasty habit of butting in. But sometimes I see a point there as they will go on and on endlessly.

listening is also a kind of art which all individual don't have in them. listening is hard to do so an individual requires patiences to do so. A lot of attention and patience is required so..sometimes listening can be good ,sometimes even bad and in some cases unbearable also. try to listen to the person who is talking rubbish. by doing so you can become a good listener to you in a peaceful manner and never become arrogant.by doing so you can develop new friends and can gain much knowledge also.
