I think i am good at it, but there was this one time i failed terribly.
I was new to texting then , and I came across a 13 year old girl , whose best friend was involved in an accident tdt afternoon and when she wnet to the hospital to see her she wasn't allowed and asked not to vist for the next few days too...
I tried my best but then i ended up making her say that I wasn't helping!
But I did certainly improve then.
I Recently convinced a girl to Not to kill her uncle who had sexually harassed her in the past as a child.. I am glad that I did help her out!
I have helped online in a lot of other minor cases!

Oh ya, I'm amazing. I got a consolation broom in my closet just in case I need to sweep someone's emotions off the floor!
Friends come to me all the time with their problems, anger, tears, and worries because I'm just known to be a good listener and I help them think things through without telling them what to do or being judgmental. It feels good to know people value you or that you have some skill that people respond well to.
I think so only because I feel like people naturally open up to me and I just listen. When they want something, or looking for advice I give it with both perspective, not just their's only. With so much going on and listening to so many people, you learn the right things to say and do.
Honestly, no. I dont think I have good words, i'm not the type to hug or pat you on the shoulder, I dont know why. But I am a good listener.

Absolutely not, I have been told I can be cold and unemotional. Not super good with advice either. Not a great listener... I usually fall to sleep when people are describing their feelings to me. I'm not intentionally trying to be rude to people, I am just not the best person to come to.
i work as a qualified psychic, relationship expert and advice columnist so yes I am good at consoling people. Some of my clients come to me for that. Others come to me for insight, psychic predictions, answers so that they are happy and do not need consoling. http://www.webclairvoyant.com
I like to think so. I like being there, and showing that i care. While i may not understand what they're going through, i do understand that they need a little pat on the back. Most importantly, a hug. And I'll hug them all day long if they need it. Unless, I'm eating, DO NOT DISTURB.
From a logical perspective yes, I have an ability to make people feel they have a good reason to feel as they do, or to provide perspective in a bigger picture which allows them to not be so hard on themselves, and self-critical. However, I am not the best person to go to, to seek pure sympathetic energy and reassurance of ones feelings, as being understandable.
I don't know about that, but i am good at giving advice most of the time. I don't like seeing people or hearing people cry, the type of cry that you know that they are hurting just breaks my heart, and I'll try to help the best I can but I can't say that I am good at it because... I'd end up crying with them. I just know how it feels and sometimes I wish that i could just take away their pain and deal with it for them because it breaks my heart :'(
Nah, honestly I’m terrible at it unless I’m super close with that person. I’m very good at taking someone’s mind off their issues, but consoling them when they’re crying is something that I struggle with a lot.
I'm too good at times, it gets exhausting because they could lean on you totally and then I can't find the nicest ways to tell them back off... either that or they'd find I overwhelm them with attention and advice... never the winner:'(
Not really cause most of the time they act like a victim, rather than taking responsibility for their situation. That irritates me cause I know they could have taken action for the better so I have no sympathy for them.
Depends on the person and the issue. Im great at making people feel better, but when they just want to be told its ok and there's an issue they should sort out i dont usually sugar coat it
Not at all. Most of the time I find myself not knowing what to say so I just say whatever comes to mind that doesn't sound insensitive.
Sometimes, it depends on the day. If i'm tired i cannot seem to have any idea what i should talk about, good days are a different story, if the person is drunk its quite hard to consolate them otherwise im quite good at it
I'm decent for a guy... I have a bootcamp mentality that I apply to myself, and I often have a hard time feeling bad for people when their problem is silly or when their solution is right in front of them.
I give good hugs though.I'm horrible at it, because I had no role models who showed me how to console people.
It depends on what the situation is, what they need comforted from, and if I realize they need comforting.
I sure hope i am. Many people come to for advice and i try to give them the truth and also a solution.
I'm extremely good at it :) sometimes people just need someone to listen and tell them its gonna be ok.
Very much so. I am a excellent listener. I am very empathetic and have a calm personality.
I'm awful at comforting words, but I'm good for a listening ear or a hug.
No...
I suck at it. When people cry, I feel like getting up and leaving.Nah I use a broom to console people from 5 feet away
