I want to take a moment to apologize for not being the best listener lately. I know you've made an effort to share things that are important to you, and I haven't always been fully present. I'm truly sorry for not being more engaged, and I want you to know that I recognize this as a problem.
It's important to me that you feel heard and valued in our conversations. I understand that when you open up about something significant, it requires my undivided attention. I realize that I haven't always given you that, and for that, I apologize.
Moving forward, I am committed to improving my listening skills. I want to be someone you can confide in and trust to be there for you. I understand that being a good listener means being fully present, actively listening, and showing genuine interest in what you have to say.
To become a better listener, I will make a conscious effort to eliminate distractions when we're talking. Whether it's putting away my phone or finding a quiet space, I want to ensure that I am giving you my complete attention. I want you to feel like you have my undivided focus when we have conversations.
Additionally, I will work on being more engaged in our discussions. This means asking questions, seeking clarification, and showing genuine curiosity about your thoughts and feelings. I want you to know that I value your perspective and that I'm genuinely interested in what you have to say.
I understand that actions speak louder than words, so I will make a conscious effort to demonstrate my commitment to being a better listener. It won't happen overnight, but I am dedicated to making this positive change in our relationship.
Please know that I truly value our friendship, and I want to be the kind of friend who supports you and listens to you wholeheartedly. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me for not being the listener you deserve, and I promise to work on it diligently.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. I am grateful to have you in my life, and I want to be the friend you can always rely on.
