What Kind Of Listener Are You? - October 02

Which kind of listener are you? Are you the kind of person who holds confidences close, who listens without judging and keeps secrets safe? Or do you enjoy passing along news and stories, sharing what you hear with others? In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz reflects on talking with a friend who’s a rock-solid listener — someone she can truly open up to and trust — and contrasts that with another friend who loves to spread news. What kind of listener do you tend to be?

I guess I'm both depending on who I'm listening to. The most amazing thing is that I've never thought about it before. Thanks a lot for making me aware of it.

What an interesting thing to contemplate. I am mostly a confidential listener but will tilt in the other direction if the particular friend is someone who shares everything with others. Like it’s an unspoken aspect of our friendship.

I hadn't given this topic much thought, but I know for sure which one I am! Thank you 💜
