Have you ever been in a place where you don’t want to be bothered and some one decides to talk to you? They tell you their current or past story and you just sit there and listen to most of it giving the appropriately timed nods, raised eyebrows, and verbal cues you are paying attention.
No?
Well, I have. More than I could possibly count. Why do I sit there and listen? Many times, it begins as something I don’t want to do, but by the time they are done, I have learned so much about them and made another happy.
My final thought… They need someone to listen to them. They have an experience they want to share and I happen to be the one who looks kind enough to unleash all the ideas, drama, thoughts about the other spaces in their life.
Think about it. Do you take the time to get out all the things that plague you? Do you have someone or someones who will take on your baggage. Not that you are asking them to help you with it, but to be a sounding board and mirror for your thoughts.
I do and there is a group whom I do release some of my quirks upon. I’ve been told, I am one who builds rapport with people. I develop relationships.
Stop and think about why people talk to you.
