Im not sure when it began, but for a while know people have been coming to me to ask for advise or just to listen to them when they are going through something. I always wondered why that always happened to me, and at the same time i liked it because it made me feel trustworthy. i like the fact that people feel comfortable with me to tell me how they feel and it also makes me feel like i am a good friend because they want to hear what i have to say. i never really put much thought into it because i figured that i was just a good listener and my friends recognized that.
Last semester was my first time going to college and i wanted to take classes that i never took before so i could learn new things. I thought that taking psychology would be very interesting to me and it turns out it was, and im even taking another class on it this sememster. In psychology 1 i learned a lot about the things that go on around me and why they happen. One of the main things i remember from taking psyc 1 is something called interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligence. Interpersonal intelligence is the abliity to understand other people and intrapersonal intelligence it knowing yourself.
I think that i have both of these because i understand other people really well by body language and by the way they express themselves. I like to try and read people so i can get a better understanding of them. And i know myself really well because i take a lot of time thinking about who i am as a person. When i first learned this in class it made perfect sense to me why people always come to me when they need someone. And i really like that i have that. I know that its something that will always be with me and i love that fact. I know some people older than me really dont know themselves as well. And i think knowing myself, and understanding other people seems to be a mature asset. I think about the intra and interpersonal intelligence everytime someone comes to me with a problem they have. My ability to listen, read and understand people is part of my identity.

I took psychology 1 too. I think studying about ourselves is fascinating. The properties that you have are not easy things to attain. I certainly respect you for having all of them. sometimes, I wish I could see what people are thinking. but it is just silly to wish that when I can't even know what I'm thinking.

I think those are great qualities for a friend to have since people are always going through tought times and its good that they have someone that can listen to them and understand them..They are lucky to have a good friend like you that they can trust

i agree with you that having such a connection with others is a mature characteristic. some would take what other people are saying and only calculate how things would affect themselves even though what is being said might not have anything to do with them. a mature person would relate to another and not think of themselves in another person's time of need.
