A friend once told me I was their go to person, the person they could tell everything and anything too. That meant a lot to me. I am glad I can be there for someone who needs to talk. I am a good listener, I sometimes give advice and sometimes not. Most times people just need to have someone who listens and they will figure it out on their own. But I am glad I can be their go to listener. I am glad I can be that person for them.
On the other hand, I try to keep things bottled up and if you ask me how I am you will get my stock answer. “I am good and you?” I feel like if I tell someone something I am giving them a load to carry and then they will worry about me and I certainly don’t want to burden them so I mostly remain quiet.

We are social creatures, and we DO need to either speak our peaceor be that ear to listen to others...
I always tell Wifey that when I get REAL quiet...(and I'm not stalking anthing, or anyone)...that's time for concern.
I tend to be gregarious in my life...and I had to LEARN to be that way. I used to be shy (hard to believe...lol)
And I've always been there to listen.
Very good post...
Stay safe down there.
