Be a good listener

No joke, four people have said that to me in the last week. It seems everyone is having minor-life-crises and have come to me to talk it out. I hate that they are having problems, but I do enjoy listening to them, and I very rarely offer advice or insight. There is something soothing about hearing a person talk things out to themselves.

Now I just need to find someone who doesn’t yawn and switch subjects to them when I need to talk.

When you are a good listener you are caring about the person who is talking to you. It may be a serious discussion or it may be a fun one; whatever the tone is, it is important to truly listen to tohers and step outside of your own little world.

Sometimes I am too entangled in my own thoughts that I have to stop myself and listen to other people.

when people talk it is important and I want them to know I do care… I am constantly working on this.. Hopefully someday in the near future someone will inform me or thank me for my good lisenting skills. I must admit, i do feel bad when I talk especially to my boyfriend late at night and I dont retain all the information. I truly give it my best shot, not just in this avenue but in all things.

I would like to be a good listener rather than good speaker.

I think i was already a pretty good listener, but when people drown you with boring stories, you have to be polite. My friend always tells me these “Tall-Tales” about her life, and I just nod and try to find something more amusing to do. She doesn’t notice though. When I do end up listening, I actually become immersed in what someone says. I feel like this is acheived.

I though that i am a good listener. But I was wrong. I need very much improvement on it.
I will be watching myself from today how much i am listening others as well as how much i am thinking while talking to others.
Wish me good Luck as i really wanna improvement in it.

Hi

Last time I talked about

What do I really need to be a good listener?

I need two main skills:

- To be an active listener.
- To learn how to communicate with people.

Ok, as a first step to be an active listener, I will start with the listening process how is it really works?

Let’s make it simple the person who is listening called the receiver and the one who is talking called the sender.

So the listening process happen through (Four Steps)

A. Hearing is the first step. At this stage, you simply pay attention to make sure you hear the message.

B. Interpretation. If you fail to interpret a speaker’s word correctly it may lead to a misunderstanding.

C. Evaluation. Decide what to do with the information you have received.

D. Respond. This is a verbal or visual response that lets the speaker know whether you have gotten the message and what your reaction is.

Hello guys

I would like to start today by asking a question why should we listen???

Because it is one of the affective ways to communicate with the others

Is it easy to listen to the others?

No it is not, because so many things fight for our attention and our mind. The speaker and the listener must both work hard when communicating to make sure each one gets the message.

Hi

This is the second day, yesterday I just asked myself a simple question,

Why Should I Be a Good Listener?

Because good listening skills help me:

- Get along with others.
- Be a better parent.
- Work better at my jobs.
- Save time.
- Be more understanding & open minded person.
- To be respected and appreciated among people.

I think those are good reasons.
