Not all of us blessed to be a Good adviser to those people that needs an advise. On the other hand, there are some that are not a Good adviser but a Good listener. How about you, how will you categorized yourself base on your friends interaction..?

Hi. There are people who feel that their problems has no more solution what they wanted is for someone that they can listen and understand their problems and if you're a good listener this would be enough to comfort them, and I guess you're one of a good listeners they wanted...Thanks for sharing and responding...

I think I am a good listener instead of a good advisor. Because for me, I am not so good and speaking and giving advice or something like that, and what I like to do is listen to what others said and really get a lot from that. Sometimes, other people need you to listen instead of just speaking and speaking.

I'm a good listener but a bad adviser. I don't know how to comfort people, but I'm more toward action. If I see something wrong I tend not to talk about it and more to act towards it. But I can be a listener, and will rarely interrupt if somebody ranting to me or just let it go her feelings. Hmm, I'm envy for those who has the ability to talk rightly at the right time. I don't have that ability.

I think I am more of a listener. I don't like to give advice unless I am asked. I think that sometimes people are just looking to get things off their chest more than they are advice. Take care friend.

Yes my friend I got your point. There are some problems that could not be easily solved in our case it would just be enough if there's someone who can listen to us, and it comforts us enough...thanks for your share....

I can be both a Good Listener and a Good Adviser depending on the situation or problems that my friends have. I really enjoy giving advise to them since I feel happy when I can make them happy.

Hello.. i think it's both?. some of my friends says that i'm a good adviser, while on my opinion, i think i'm a good listener, i think it's easy to be a good adviser because your mind is clear at that moment because you're not experiencing it now while your advising it to your friends, or it could be just you know the right from wrong. But sometimes, when you are now on the same situation, your confused on what to do though you know the right thing to do, maybe it's because what your brain tells to you is different from what your heart tells. About being a good listener, i think if you can't advice well, then atleast be a good listener and just stay with him/her, sometimes, prescence is enough to let others know that you do care. Happy mylotting

I'm a good listener, and I hope to know my new friends well by this way-listening.I don't like to talk with others actively,and I don't know how to chat with strangers, especially people who are much younger or much older than me.

Oh I see. Do you have inferiority? I think you're maybe lack of exposures. Try to overcome it, it would be nice if we can meet all kinds of people. Anyway, you can overcome it if you're a good listener and advise to some that needs an advise..Thanks a lot...
