Every listener needs a listener

We all have a friend who listens to our problems and understands our feelings, without ever judging us. That’s the beauty of a true listener.

I always love to have a listening friend. In fact, I love being one of them. I love to listen to people, know what they are going through, and feel empathetic.

But a question arises: doesn’t every listener need a listener?

Let’s take the example of the best listener you have in your life. It might be your partner, your parent, or your best friend. Have you ever asked him or her how he or she is doing? Mostly, we tend to forget the fact that they too are having some problems. They are also having some fights.

Being a listener, I sometimes have to face the problem that, when I need to talk to someone, I take a step back. And the things keep bugging my head until I figure them out, sometimes going wrong, sometimes right.

We tend to forget that even the people who look happy or try to portray themselves as happy are going through a fight. So, if you have such a friend in your contact list, message them and ask if they have anything to talk about and you are willing to listen to them. Trust me, it will surely make them feel tons better.

Don’t forget:

Every listener needs a listener too.
