According to "Isabelle Bank" in Love and Tell, Psychology Today, the most valued skill in a trusted confidant is listening. "Offers of emotional support and perspective were considered more helpful. And the most welcome response? Simply listening."
Interestingly, in a recent national study, 63% of respondents said they confided in a third party about a problem in a long term relationship. Looks like we need to spend more time listening in our relationships. :)
