What are your biggest problems when it comes to listening?

I am the kind of person who listens a lot rather than talking too much. When someone shares something serious I would listen wholeheartedly and when they are done talking and ask for my opinion then that is my turn to open my mouth to share. Perhaps, I just love the feeling that there are people who come to me to share something, it is a privilege in my part and not all people are sharing about their story that is why I always treasure the moments when they share. And now I understand why most of my friends come to me when they want someone to listen because they can really feel that someone in my person is listening to them...

I know what you mean but I really say it when I don't. How can you give a productive response when you don't understand what the person is saying. You just have to be very patient.I'm very loading at times and sometimes they laugh at me.

I have trouble listening to people with high pitched voices. I really don't know why I have a hard time catching up with their conversation. I also have problem listening to people who shower their saliva while they talk to me. When I talk to a person who is like that I am usually busy being alert on any incoming spit that I want to evade.

unfortunately, i'v been more of a selective listener than ever. sometimes i hear what i want to hear. and that is not good in the long run. to be an effective listener one has to have a ear for details...

The good listener always tries to hear what the other party is saying, well more then that they try to understand. If you are struggling for a response my advice is to ask a question before!!! People who talk a lot are looking for an answer be that yes, no or something else. Sadly a lot of people look for the answer they want to hear whether its best for them or not. I hope this has helped you x x x

I'm a good listener ... it is not hard for me to stay like an hour or two just listening .. you know .. when someone has a trouble or a bad day, but my problem is sometimes i get bored however i still do my best not to look bored and continue listening. but it is kinda embarrassing when the person you are listening to look at you and wait for a respond for a question he have just asked while you just open your mouth discovering that you missed a part of his/her speech.. :)

I have a big problem with listening to anyone who doubts my ability to do something. My mind becomes focused on finding a way to shut them up somehow. Be it via a verbal tongue lashing, or showing them just how wrong they are.

Yeah, as far as I am concerned, I think the biggest problems hwen it comes to listening, I usually can not catch the exact meaning of my friends. So I my try my best to make the words that my friends said can be understood by my ear.have a nice day.

I am quite a good listener, because I'm shy and I don't do the talking much. My problem is when people complain a lot and they repeat it over and over, it sort of annoys the hell out of me. Also, my problem is when I'm done listening and it's my turn to talk, I become overwhelmed, LOL. But that doesn't happen when I am with people I'm totally comfortable with.

As a psychology student, listening is very important and understanding is very important. One should listen closely and always take note or remember the facts about the speaker.My problem is, sometimes too much information given, I could easily forget the things and the facts.

try to be kind. you need have attention to the speaker and give yourself a break to have fun listening and make it interesting.

i'm a kind of a person that do listen when i need to listen. i do feel that i need to listen to that person because if i'll be the one who talks i also want someone to listen to me as well. by listening it is equal to respecting that person and yourself. i sometimes get irritated with those people who doesn't listen. i do enjoy listening to people's stories because i tend to learn something out of it.

English is not my first language.i am from China .there are many foreigners come to china for travelling ,studying and so on .once a time ,i saw one guy with black skin who needed help.i helped him ,and we were became friends.as we talked about more ,we had more generation gap by different culture and words we express

I guess I more of a listener since I don't talk much often. I usually listen and observe people and let my brain do her judgments /conclusions but I don't open it vocally. Well yes being a listener makes me think that I'm being therapeutic especially if someone wants his/her concern to be heard and I was their lending my ears to him/her. But sometimes I had the tendency of getting irritated to long talks. Sometimes my attention span is quite short and losses my interest easily depending on what was being shared to me. So I think its depends on your interest that makes you a good listener, if the subject is quite annoying, the heal I care, and that makes me bad listener.

Listening to someone that the only words that she says is about the person he loves or had a crush on. My heart bleeds listening to her talk about her love. But I still want to listen to her and to let her know that I would always be there for her even though I'm not the one she needs.
