That is because the most important thing to you in the world.. is YOU! ;)
When we are down, we always want someone to listen to us.
Sometimes, people are so engrossed in their problem that they will just talk and talk and forget that you have your own problems too.
But the good thing I have found from experience is that when you listen to people and focus on helping them, you will not have so much time to mull over and be unhappy over your own problems ;)
My mother always said "Do unto others what you want others to do unto you.."
If you want people to listen to you too.. you have to start by listening to others ;) WHen they are done with their turn, am sure they dun mind returning the favour and listening to you in return ;)

That's what friends are for. Sometimes, they are not really looking to you for a solution but just for someone to listen/talk to about it. Maybe you are the only one they can confide in at the time.

Sometimes it is best to listen to ones problem because sometimes it can help you but the more you try to help others the least you should feel or worry about your problems.

because sometimes you can put into perspective that your problems aren't that bad. No matter how bad you think you have it, someone will always be worse off then you are. Try listening sometimes, thats all your friend my want, just to have someone to vent to is wonderful.

Friends provide listening ears and sometimes they just need to vent a little.

Well you want that friend to listen to you as well I would guess. So you have to live up to your end of being a friend.
