Good day steemians, the surest way to deepen friendship is to able to listen with empathy. You don't listen to people if you don't love them. This is very practical, you must have done it unconsciously.

Listening and hearing are two different things entirely, when you walk along the streets, you hear all kinds of sounds, bird sounds, engine revving, sirens etc.

at times the words don't matter,the emotions must be communicated and well understood
Put yourself in their condition, ask yourself what it feels like to be in their situation and listen without interruption. Although you might not be trying to solve their problem but
a problem discussed is half solved
Have blessed day ahead
