In a world where everyone seems to be vying for attention, it's a rare gem to find someone who truly listens, definitely the kind of person who makes you feel seen, heard, and understood. The ratio of judgement and destructive criticism to listening and advising is quite alarming. These self-acclaimed judge and critics often portray themselves as advisors and some are not very good listeners.
Having someone who truly listens is a game-changer. You know, the kind of person who makes you feel seen, heard, and understood. All I have ever wanted is to be heard, my feelings concerning an issue expressed without restrictions.
I read a document in the media about a boy who was killed by an AI. He committed suicide all because of the AI or so. Well I can't tell if it is fictional or not. But from what I read he had bonded very well with an artificial intelligence on his phone. He used pocket money he got from his parents to subscribe His AI companion and friend. Getting so addicted and attached to this AI led him to his death for whatever reason it was.
I would definitely say that boy lacks whom to talk to, someone that listens to him and makes him feel com first before correcting him.
I use to be a lone wolf, considering that I'm an only child and associating with people wasn't really my thing. But then there's how someone comes around you after being so meticulous about your relationship and friendships with people and then you find solace in just one Person.
So I just so attached to this Fellow for above 2years meticulously observing him. He has mastered the art of listening. It's not just about hearing words; it's about paying attention to tone, body language, and emotions. When we talk, he's fully present, his eyes locked onto mine, and his expression empathetic. He doesn't interrupt or judge; instead, he offers a safe space for me to express myself.
I've had my fair share of struggles, and this good listener has been a constant source of comfort. He knows just when to inject humor to lighten the mood or offer a comforting word to soothe my soul. His listening ear has been a lifeline, helping me navigate life's ups and downs. Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes all we need is someone to talk to. He is a good listener and is always there to lend a sympathetic ear. Whether I'm sharing my deepest fears, wildest dreams, or mundane daily struggles, he listens attentively, offering words of encouragement and support.
Our conversations are a beautiful mix of laughter and tears. His listening ear has been a constant source of strength, helping me navigate life's ups and downs
Being heard and validated is an incredible feeling. From every conversation we make he has a way of making me feel like my thoughts, feelings, and experiences matter. He acknowledges my emotions, even when I'm not sure how to process them myself. This validation has helped me develop a stronger sense of self and confidence.
I've learned so much from him about the importance of empathy and understanding. By being present and fully engaged in our conversations, he's shown me that sometimes, all someone needs is to be heard. This lesson has inspired me to become a better listener myself, to be more present and supportive in my relationships.
As I reflect on the impact this good listener has had on my life, I'm reminded of the power of human connection. In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming and isolating, it's the listeners who help us feel seen, heard, and understood.
