What are the functions of listening?

Listening is a way of learning about the world around you. If you listen and pay attention, you can learn many things besides information and schoolwork. You can tell what other animals are nearby. You can hear danger coming or hear a friend in the distance. You can even hear your own heart beating if you are quiet enough.


What is the introduction of listening skills?

Listening skills are ways to help you listen to something more effectively. Here are some examples of listening skills:Appreciative Listening - listening for enjoyment, such as to musicCritical Listening - paying attention to the way that something is presented, such as listening to music and evaluating the performanceDiscriminative Listening - being sensitive to non-verbal clues in a speaker, such as looking at body language and facial expressions, and listening to tone of voiceInformative Listening - paying attention to determine what the speaker is trying to teach you, such as in a classroom or at a lectureRelationship Listening - listening for the sole purpose of helping the other person to express their feelings or to work through a problem, such as a therapist or a friend letting someone "vent" to themThere are also several types of listening skills that you can use in any of these situations:Listening within your own frame of reference (what you hear means something to you somehow) - here are the levels of listening in order of how well each one works:Ignoring - not really listening at all, but it fits onto the listening scale!"Pretend" Listening - acting as if you are paying attention, but your body language gives away the fact that you are really thinking about yourself; you might also interrupt the speaker or walk away in this stageSelective Listening - you only hear what you want to hear, and ignore whatever else the speaker is sayingPatronizing Listening - listening with an attitude that you are better than the speaker or that you are judging the speakerAttentive Listening - paying attention without actually working at listening; this is what most students in class and most untrained people believe that listening meansActive Listening - actually working to understand the speaker; you provide feedback, ask questions, paraphrase what you have heard, and take notes if neededListening within another's frame of reference(understanding how what you hear will mean something to another person)Empathic Listening - the highest level of listening, where you try to understand the thoughts and feelings of the speaker; you pay attention to non-verbal clues such as facial expression and tone of voice to understand the speaker as well as the message spoken. Note that you do not have to agree with the speaker to understand, and you do not need to feel sympathy in order to be empathic - understanding the person is not the same as feeling exactly the way they do.

How do you stop pushing your problems onto other people?

It is normal to choose one or two trusted and close friends to discuss your problems, but not to tell your problems to anyone that will listen. People on a general basis have their own problems and do not want to constantly hear about someone else's problems. If you choose one or two close friends to discuss your problems with then listen carefully to any suggestions they may have to help your situation because there is nothing worse than a person helping a friend in need and they refuse to accept a rational way to resolve the problem. It is important not to whine about your problems, but be specific and say something like, 'The problem is (explain it) and do you have an opinion on this that I can run with to resolve the problem? This makes you sound mature and you are not whining, but asking for solid advice from a good friend. Also, be there for your friends when they need you no matter what you are going through at the time because they may need some advice from you. There is nothing worse than a friend whining constantly without asking their helpful friend how their life is going and is there anything they can do for them.
