I Am a Good Listener

Don't pretend. People who are just listening to "be nice" can cause more pain than this person is suffering. I can tell you first hand finding that those I thought cared about me really were only tolerating me was a blow worse than any I've ever had in my life. Think about it. You say you have some issues I doubt you'd want that for yourself. Try sharing with these people you call friends. It sometimes enables me to gain perspective and my problems don't seem to weigh as heavy. A little back and forth sharing of the misery could those participating in the conversation. Even if it just means taking a little weight off the shoulders. Instead of saying no try sharing. Good luck:-)
