Just Listen
I suspect that the most basic and powerful way to connect with another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our 1, and especially if it's given from the 2. When people are talking, there's no need to do anything but 3 them. Just take it 4. Listen to what they're saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than 5 it.
One of my patients told me that when she 6 to tell her story, people often 7 to tell her that they once had something just like what happened to her. Subtly (微妙地), her pain became a story about themselves. 8 she stopped talking to most people. She was just to 9. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let him know that we understand, we move the 10 of attention to ourselves. But when we listen they know we care.
I have ever learned to 11 to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach the tissues (纸巾) 12 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 13, instead of taking them out of their 14 of sadness and pain. Now I just listen. When they need to cry, they find me there 15 them. This 16 thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been 17 since I was very young at school. I thought people listened only because they were too 18 to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more 19 to connect than the comforting 20.
