Have you ever had a time when you are talking to someone and you just need to talk? As you are talking and needing to get somethings off your chest, or just need to vent, or even just have an ear to listen to you and as you are talking the person you are talking to says, "Oh my gosh I know, I had the same thing happen to me", and then they start to tell you their story. I mean, come on, are you kidding me. It amazes me how many people do that, including myself. There are times though, when I just need to talk and get things off my chest. I could care less if you have had the same experience and feel like you need to share it. Just listen to me is all I am asking for.
I am sure all of us feel the same way about this. How do we fix it? How do we become a better listener for people so people will be better listeners for us? If you know how, please fill me in.
There are just days out there that maybe the person we are suppose to be listening to, is really crying out for help and we are so caught up in our self that we miss the sign to help someone in need. Take a step back next time you are talking to someone and see if you are suppose to be listening instead of carrying on about what you are doing or have done. You just never know who you might be helping.
