well i guess all person had his/her ups and down's with his/her life about family,career,relationship and many more will you be there beside your friend if he/she needs an helping hand or someone to talk to,i experience it many times when one my friend need someone to talk to,to express her feelings and thoughts my friend cried in front of me while im listening she just talks to me while she's crying for about an hour.it's a good thing that someone share what their going through with their life for me it's a good thing to have friends that express what they going through because you'll know that they have trust in you.

I was in a bit of a stste today about a few thing so i rang a friend thinking i will not cry and i ended up crying to her on the phone.I think the thing is that i have always been there for her and she is always there for me.No matter what the time or what the day is we both know that we can rely on each other no matter what has happened.

Yes I do. I try to discern whether they need to listen to my pieces of advice or just want me to be there for them to listen.

Hi WErty, Of course i do. i always try my best to give them time. it's a good way for me to show my support, concern and care for my friends. i want them to feel that i am there for them. i may not solve their problems but just by being there i know it means a lot for them.

Hi,there.I think what you said it's quite right.Sometimes our friends need nothing but someone to who can listen to them.I don't dare to say I am a good listener,but I should say I do like to listen to them no matter what time and what things.So long as they need me,I wouldn't hesitate to go through fire and water for them.

absolutely. it's the trust that is so difficult to turn down. besides there is no harm listening. it makes one a better listener and a better person. and you never know that one day you may trade places.

Yes I do! As a friend, it's my duty and my role to be there for them when they are having troubles or problems in life. I also think that if a friend opens up to you, it means they trust you and so it's for you to give back that trust and give them a feeling of belonging and security that they are not alone.

as a good friend, we must be prepared to be a good listener. Sometimes people just want others to become listeners of her problem. He did not want that person to give a solution to the problem.

yes. I do listen to them because most of the time, that's just what I can do to help them. Telling your problems to others can help lessen the burden of carrying the problem. So I don't mind if my friends come to me just to tell me this and that from time to time.

I do, thats what i do the most.When a friend tells me that he or she needs me im very much willing to listen to her or to him .Im the kind of person who cares about his or her friends that much and im pretty much blessed that i have those kinds of friends who cares about me too.We tend to help each other out when it comes to tough times, i think thats the true value and lesson of friendship, through thick and thin .

I'll listen and give my advice if my friends would like to accept.I'll feel sorry for them when they have anything to worry about.I feel I have the responsibility to help them solve the problems.
