What makes a good listener?

A good listener is exactly this. Someone who truly listens and does not interrupt and someone who is genuinely interested in what you have to say. Anyone can hear someone but not everyone will really listen. I too find Mylot a great place to put your thoughts and be able to hear responses from others around the world. People can be so helpful and can give you different perspectives to your problems. Here is the place that they really listen.

I think a good listener is the one who really pay attentions and doesn't intrupt the speaker.

you have described very nicely about the characters of people who are good listeners. if we listen to others properly,we can identify and get many good points to improve our life. if we are a good listener, we can easily make others to listen to us. listening skill is very important in nowadays jobs. if we don't listen to our clients properly,we don't understand what is our clients requirements and we may end up with wrong outputs. if a person has a good interest and patience to listen he is called as a good listener.as you said he should not interrupt. he should listen the whole conversation fully and after we finish,the good listener will ask their doubts.some people like your husband thinks that they can read others mind easily and they will not listen what we are trying to say. it is really not a good habit and people of those kind should change their attitude. they should understand the fact that,if they don't listen others,others wont listen to them.

In my point of view, a good listener who is cope or focus to any matter and being a good observer. They just listen and will respond as well as try to give a good opinion. It is a kind of good characters.

1. Listen carefully. 2. Ask questions later. 3. Don't rush in on conclusions.

A Good Listener to me is Someone who is fully engaged in the conversation, some people listen but don't care enough to get the issue, others think they know everything, but someone who is fully involved giving eye contact , you can't refute that he is not listening it's obvious!

A good listener is one who will pay attention to what you have to say. Thus, a good listener is one who will want to clarify by asking questions to fully understand what you are talking about. I love mylot too for the same reasons.
