Nobody Ever Listens to Me! - Carole Ritter - January 1976

Carole Ritter

Everybody needs somebody to talk to. It's one of our deepest human needs. But canned entertainment has nearly killed the art of conversation, and frustrated talkers are turning more and more to professional listeners to satisfy their needs. Psychiatrists rake in extravagant sums listening to people's hangups; housewives "tell all" on call-in radio talk shows; problem "hot lines" are doing a land-office business. Why this dire shortage of good listeners? Is there anything we personally can do about it? - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
