good listener

There is a limit to what we all can put up with, lol.But if a friend or a member of family needs to talk to make them self feel better than I will have all the time in the world to listen to them. I also like to feel that people can come to me to talk if they are upset about something and just need a person to listen to them.

Hello, I think there is no limitation in listening as long as the speaker's saying is good and you can relate with him.Listening is fun as long as you can relate to a person who are you listening to is sharing thoughts with you.

Good listener is better than always talking without taking feedback. I suppose this is important in people's communication. So i want to be like this and it definitely helps a lot.

I could not actually get what you mean!! Is that concerned with you tolerating harsh words of others and do not responding them back thus remaining polite? Or is that you have a habit of listening to others more rather than making them listen to your views ? In any case you are good. I am pretty much possess both the features I mentioned above. I admire this quality of others and trying to inculcate it in myself. I like to speak a lot. But as I am growing I am getting to learn that it is rather better to listen to others. At times it appears not a so go thing to keep quiet (more in the first case) as you essentially need to voice your opinion but more often than not you feel yourself at a better place by not replying back to every harsh words you receive.

If you mean a limit on how long someone can talk then the answer is 'as long as a piece of string'. If someone is lonely, they will talk a lot and then someone like you is an invaluable friend. If they just don't know when to stop then you should interrupt when they stop for a breath and diplomatically close the subject. If someone talks for the sake of talking then be a friend and tell them that it can be tiresome for the listener. They might be offended for a little while but you will be doing them and others a good turn.

A good listener is someone who not only hears and pay attention, but someone who listens and understands. It takes a lot to stay passive because human nature is oftentimes "me first" before others. If it's in your nature to listen, you don't need much effort. If not, no matter how hard you try, you won't ever become a good listener. Because halfway through the conversation, your mind will surely drift away.

You should ask yourself what your limit is. The limit is a personal thing and different to each one of us. To some it's when they get bored, are not interested in the subject, to others it is when they are not interested in a person/like the person/find that person rehearsing him/herself constantly. I would lie if I would say I keep listening to everybody, it's also hard to believe other peoople do so. Since keep listening takes a lot of your energy.
