I Am a Good Listener

I'm a good listener too. Most of my friends and even juniors come to me whenever they have problems and share with me. well sometimes I feel bore listening to their personal problems and the hardest part is when they ask for advice.But the thing is that I can't say NO when they come to me even when I myself is struggling with my own problems..

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:-)

I never say NO to anyone. I like helping people and try to listen and help them as much as I could. When someone comes to me with their problem I don't like to bother them with my problem. And I can't share most of my feelings and problems with my frens, that's why I'm here in EP.... :)
