Attentive listener.
Listen with the intention to understand rather than to formulating a response.
When I ask you to listen to me
and you start giving me advice,
you’re not doing what I’m asking.
When I ask you to listen to me
and you say I shouldn’t feel that way,
you’re not taking my feelings seriously.
When I ask you to listen to me
and you think you need to solve my problems,
you’re letting me down, however strange that may seem.
So please listen to me and try to understand me.
And if you also want to talk, wait until I’m done,
and then I promise I will listen to you.
