Sometimes you just want people to listen to you.Your friends and your dear ones should just listen to what you are feeling and what you are going through.And you don’t want them to impose suggestions and decisions that you should take in that situation.Sometimes all you just need is to vent your heart out.But people often end up giving clarifications and justifications for why this is happening and what you should do?But you know what you should have done and what you should do many a times but you just want a kindred soul to have patience and just hear out what you have to say.You don’t want their opinions which are each varying most of the time and confuse you further at times and make you feel worse.I am not blaming them,I know that they love us and care for us and what they think is best is what they are telling you.But often I don’t need to hear anything from them and I just want them to listen.Thursday, August 4, 2011
Just listen

Why I feel that this is something I do always.
Absolutely correct Priya...
I should this habbit of mine as I also sometimes listen less and suggest more :-(
Thanks dear! Very few people can bring out small things so nicely...and I know only my cuttttuuuu can do this :-P
Tussi vi humesha muje chane k jhaadh pe chadate rehte ho :P Thnks swtttuuu :)
I have long back stopped expecting people to hear out to me . Previously I used to narrate stuff which I used to find interesting . But the disinterest largely writ on their face discouraged to continue any further . Instead I have started to hear out a lot . Sometimes when I feel the urge to say something , I put on my music player and play out some songs that are reserved for moments exactly like this . Funny that people expect us to listen to them but when it comes to them they find the other person boring and ranting .
A question for you ... Do you have a 3 A.M. friend ?
I had been a chit chatter bt find myself a listener for all my close friends.I guess I really do talk a lot but I listen a lot too :) No I don't have a 3am friend,I don't think its a good time to talk to a friend.And I would prefer not to have one :P Wud read a book instead... :)
What I meant with a 3 A.M. friend is like that he/she is such a close friend who will hear you out regardless of time/situation . Do not necessarily means that you have to call him/her at 3 A.M. :)
Even I have served as a sounding board to a lot of friends . Its amazing that how much you get to see things from a different perspective . It lets you to form proper opinions about stuff.
I think if that's the case then yes I have few close friends who will listen to me at any time.But I rarely reach out to them in case I have lost my balance at even normal hrs :P ;) Coz I knw its only for few hours and then I will be fine and I pick up a book. :) But I do tell them afterwards tht I felt like dis..he he he... Bt if its my love of life I used to reach out to him for everything..Even some silly,petty decisions,useless thoughts bt u find thm of gr8 significance at tht moment :P anything... :) And yes I have found myself listening to my friends at the most odd timings..In a very busy day packed up bt u knw they need u,and u ought to jst listen,not advice..only if I get frustrated I advice :P At 1 or 2 late at night...just hear out to her what she is feeling..(most of the times I cudnt hear my fone ringing,sleep like a pig :P)But as u said,yess it definitely gives u different perspective...And sometimes I find myself guilty of doing the same things which the other side is suffering for and I realise its wrong,how can I advise her something which even I don't do though I know its right..So I just listen :)
