I know situations going both ways how to be a better listen and take responsibility for my part ? How do I not be so defensive and sensitive? I find my self saying you hurt me first?

@anayiii

Its so honest of you to admit you need help.

There's also the listener support room which is great.

Its hard not to be sensitive or take things personally as we are human but when being a listener I feel you need to be honest.

Set time limits and stick to them.

Set boundaries.

Be kind,be patient.

Communication is key, is you dont understand something ask, dont be afraid to apologise if youve unintentionally said something. Don't become attached, members will come and they will also not need help anymore. All you can do is your best and never hesitate to recommend a member finds another listener if you feel you've given your best and it's still not being received, that's ok too, you are doing a good job 💜💕
