sometimes we all need to be heard only & not interrupted by others specially when we are going through hard times

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • concentration
  • your ears
  • patience
Step1
when someone come to you as a friend to tell you about a problem they are going through or something important that happened you don't won't to let them down.....!!!
so you have to be a good listener
Step2
you have to let them be comfort in saying anything they wanna say if they don't wanna speak then it's up to them.
you also wanna keep the conversation private between you two except when he/she fells it's okay to tell others about it.
Step3
if they began to tell there story don't interrupt them by stupid comments or asking questions out of the subject.
if he/she is telling a good thing that happened to them feel free to give comments.
Step4
if it is a bad thing or a problem don't give comments just listen & let him/her feel that you are really concentrating with them instead of doing anything else
Step5
let him/her finish there talking then don't speak till they tell you that they are finished or ask you for your opinion.
feel free to say your opinion after they finish even if it was contrary to what they say but put it in a good way

Tips & Warnings

  • a good friend is like a precious diamond very hard to find but worth every second wasted searching for it.
  • inorder to find a good friend you have to be one.
  • don't let your ego control you & instead of listening to the other part you start telling your own stories.
