Something I've realised recently, and i dont know how true it is;
People, mostly are good listeners when you are having miserable time in your life and when you have nothing to say but crib. Whether this is just my imagination going overboard I dont know, but my wacked out reasoning is that it is so, because people find it good to listen to someone who is worse off than they are. Some kind of reassurance that maybe they aren't as fucked up as they thought they are.
Dialogues from the Fight Club:
When people think you're dying, man . . . they really, really listen to you, instead of just . . . Instead of just waiting for their turn to speak.

"Form is temporary, Class is Permanent"
Quotes for life
“From my past performances,from my past success. I know all days cannot be rosy and what keeps me going is my faith on self and support from my team."
-Sourav Ganguly.
[Answering from the question: Where did you get the strength to fight from?]
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and no matter how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!
Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But remember, ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you!
-Rocky Balboa in Rocky Balboa(2006)
[To his son ,before the final fight.]
One minute was enough, Tyler said, a person had to work hard for it, but a minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.
-Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 3
When you take that field today, you've got to lay that heart on the line, men. From the souls of your feet, with every ounce of blood you've got in your body, lay it on the line until the final whistle blows. And if you do that, if you do that, we cannot lose. We may be behind on the scoreboard at the end of the game but if you play like that we cannot be defeated. Now we came here today to remember six young men and sixty-nine others who will not be on the field with you today, but they will be watching. You can bet your ass that they'll be gritting their teeth with every snap of that football. You understand me? How you play today, from this moment on is how you will be remembered. This is your opportunity to rise from these ashes and grab glory. We are...

Everyone is not the same...thank god that someone is there to listen or you will go mad speaking to yourself...there are people called "friends"...who won't just listen you give you reassurance and their honest advice as to what you can to...you just need to figure out who they are...
