I Am a Good Listener

I love listening to people I care of and I'm pretty able to put on their shoes and let them express their worries and say to them some encouragement...but I sometimes with specific people I care, don't feel myself listened. I don't use to do the things waiting for something in return but I think that if someone is your friend and cares of you, there must be a little reciprocity. Am I being so much paranoical? Bc things like that makes me doubt about the honesty of the friendship.

Twister.... It strikes me you do know who you are.... So, don't worry about this!
Perhaps you can just think about your efforts as, "Paying a deed forward" rather than worrying about the feedback you seem to have on your mind.

My philosophy: We humans are put on this earth to prove ourselves - not to others, but to God who will accept us for the efforts we make to help others.

Think of your conversations with 'them' as your effort to help the helpless. I hope it makes the effort less painful.
