But what if someone opens up their personals with you?
I have always had people who disclose their issues to me, because I guess they quickly find that I'm trustworthy from my behaviour and words
Even two days ago, a person I barely knew at the gym disclosed her divorce issues, and the whole wrangling with cheating and money, in just the second conversation.
There's no denying that I am a good motivational speaker. But there are times when people want someone to "listen".

I'm a crappy listener (I swear I'm working on it!), I wish people would confide in me...should I consider that a blessing

Hmmm I'm not sure how I'd take someone being shocked to find good in me. Kind of like a Christian hearing from an old friend, "Wow! I never knew you were a Christian!" Ouch! (from a Christian persepctive) LOL

Heh, we're not talking about that kind of "good"...
I'm talking about the "shocking" things most people wouldn't expect hearing from a seemingly quiet person...

Everytime someone does this I think of that chapelle skit where he was the rapping black sheep...LOL
People tell me thier most messed up crap and its like...dude...you should be paying me 100$ hour to listen to you.. Shut up.
I used to just listen when I was younger but it is emotionally exhausting some of these problems people have.
I tend to be a very private person, which to a lot of people is a bad quality. I'm not sure why though. People are entitled to their privacy. Just because you freely talk about your sex life doesn't the rest of us have to.
But one thing I pay attention to is how much others reveal. If they avoid certain topics, I avoid bringing them up. Some people talk about very frank things, others don't. That's why I take my cues from them on what and what not to talk about.
As for me, I generally avoid discussing my finances, my sex life, and my views on organized religion. If politics comes up, I discuss it, but I rarely bring it up first.
