In being a good listener I tend to forget my problems.

A lot of people say that I'm a good listener. Some of my relatives and friends call me once in a while or maybe I can say frequently when they feel sad or are experiencing difficulties in life. I also have a lot to think about but I can say that I'm a happy person because I try to find happiness in simple things. When I listen to their stories I tend to forget that I am also experiencing something and it gives me time divert my mind into other things.

believe me i know exactly how you feel i live in a family of 19 cousins where everyone calls me when they have a problem and i put aside any sad emotions i might be having at the time and i listen to them and try to help them by pointing out the good things in life

Yup i am also a good listener because i believe that is one of the way one can make more friends. Being patient also comes with being a good listener. However i don't forget my problems but if i had something to say up in my mind then i do tend to forget that. That's a disadvantage of listening too much. You can never really voice your opinion somewhere and i also tend to be rather shy at most of the times. I love to listen a lot... I am getting late for class cya later! Cheers!
