Listening is caring

If you want to tell your problem to someone else, I think the best person to go to is the one that is very close to you. This person can be your best friend, your spouse, or your parents. And you will tell about your problem privately or face to face. You won't want others to hear it. You tell that with the hope that you will not feel burdened or that person can give you advice.

There are, however, some special persons that you will share your problems with. These special persons are not close to you. Maybe you just know their nick name; you don't know anything else about them. These people have the face which says, "Now tell me about it." They don't need to say that to make you tell everything. They have good listening skill and highly qualified patience. They never want to interrupt your story because they know when to give best responses.

After you finish telling about your problem, you will feel a sudden relief. This is not because of their giving a suggestion (most of the time they don't give it). That relief comes from how appreciated we feel when we tell them our problem. And you will feel sure that they will not tell about your problem to other people they know. They are quite good at keeping secrets.

One more thing about them is that you don't have to pay for that session because they are not psychologists. They are just ordinary persons who are willing to be a garbage bin for your problem.
