I think I'm generally a good listener anyway.

Good listeners have a huge advantage. For one, when they engage in conversation, they make people 'feel' heard. They 'feel' that someone really understands their wants, needs and desires. And for good reason; a good listener does care to understand.

I'm a good listener.

Being a good listener is more than just being quiet. It's reflecting back on what you're hearing. It's processing the information to formulate a question, a comment or a speech.

I am a good listener. I think that came from my schooling.

I'm a darned good listener.

My mother was a listener. I'm a talker. I'm very comfortable talking.

A good listener is usually thinking about something else.

There is only one rule for being a good talker - learn to listen.

Try to be as good a listener as you are a speaker. Don't just put the emphasis on saying things. Listen.
