Are you a good listener?

There are people that I knew who always talk and talk but just don't listen heartily to you when it's you who's talking. I don't like it when you talk and someone you're talking with don't listen to you attentively but when they're the ones talking we listen attentively to them. It's just not fair isn't it.

Some times yes and some times not, because listening someone else opinion is not very good and not very nice think to get. Especially hearing from someone with bad attitude

I am a good listener. Loads of people come to me with their problems. However, I think it can sometimes bad to be a good listener. You listen to everyone else talk about what's going on with them, but then when you're in need of venting or have someone listen and tell you what to do, all they do is talkkk. This happens to me all the time. Out of the handfuls of people I have complain, cry, and vent to me, only two of them can actually stick around to hear what's wrong with em.

I have friends like this and they are so annoying! It is really sad to be around those types of people because after a while you realize that they are stuck in their own bubble. They are kind of mentally challenged in a way, because it is common sense that you should listen to others. It is common sense that one should care about what goes on in the rest of the world. If people don't care about the world, they become self-interested and that is a very childish way to approach life.

of course i am, not all people are interested to what we are sharing to them. when we talk to someone,first is we get their attention,avoid any hindrance to the communication and that is what we call good communication technique.if the person is no listening to you. come back later when the person is ready.
