I have empathy for lonely people because I'm introverted, and I know the pain of feeling socially isolated. So, yes, I tend to be patient with persons who seem in need of being listened to. Unfortunately, people like that often over-rely on any one source of attention they find. They glom on. That gets burdensome. I have to strike some balance between being available and not getting taken advantage of. I guess it takes practice.
