We often meet difficults, bad mood, unexpect accident in our lives, we need listener to release our bad emotion.However as a good listener will strenthen our relationship. When my friend are depressed, I prefer to be a good listener to ask what the wrong was for her, and release their fears, frustrations and other bad feelings. In your life, do you like to be a good listener for your friends?

I do have to say that when you listen and let the other person talk it helps them to release the emotion that is needed. Not every one who come to you for you to listen to them are not good listeners themselves. So I guess you can say not all are born to listen or have that selective hearing lol. I on the other hand love to listen. Listening can give you insight, wisdom, and so much more than just yapping your mouth. There is a saying I have heard before. I was born with two ears and one mouth. That means you are to listen twice more than you speak, or something like that.

I think that you are right that a good listener,is a great person to be with and it keeps relationships alive.I tend to listen to a person,rather thgan be the talker,as that way noone knows what i am thinking or anything going on in my life.A very old friend of mine suffers really bad with depression,i always make time for her,no matter what.

Hi jugsjugs, you are so kind of your old friend, and you are a good listener. Acutally, I am not a good listener, I often talk than listen. After this discussion,I should change me, who can understand friend's feeling and as a good listener too. Thank you. Have a great day!

My friends usually run to me when they have problems so i realized that i may be a good listener. It's much better to be a good listener because you can understand others feelings and be able to give a good advise.

Yeah, if you are good at listening, then it is obvious that you can build a strong relationship with others. When communicating with others, it is next to impossible for then to understand what each other have done. That is to say, we may meet some troubles in a relationship. But if we are good at listening, it means that we can solve the misunderstandings easily and quickly. As a result, we can strenthen the realtionship.
