In at least fifty words, explain the listening style(s) you would use, and why, when listening to a friend share about a problem. Remember that your thinking process is important as well as the goal you have in mind while listening to your friend.
When listening to a friend share about a problem, I would use both empathetic and active listening styles. Empathetic listening allows me to truly understand and connect with their emotions, showing them that I care and value their feelings. Active listening would help me focus on the details, asking clarifying questions and providing constructive feedback, with the goal of helping my friend find a solution or offering support when needed.
