All I Ask Is That You Listen

Posted on 02/28/202302/27/2023 by Tangie

“When I ask you to listen and you start giving advice, you have not done what I have asked. When I ask you to listen to me and you begin to tell me why I shouldn’t feel that way, you are trampling on my feelings. When I ask you to listen and you feel you have to do something to solve my problem, you have failed me, strange is it may seen. Listen! All I ask is that you listen; not talk or do–just hear me.”
