I don't know if it counts as a talent but I can really listen -- and I pay attention. When someone is sharing something personal with me, I try to never say that they are handling something the wrong way because what works for one may not work for another --  and I try very hard to be non-judgmental. Someone called me the other day and asked if they could come over because they needed someone to talk to. I can usually be that person. Even if I don't have any suggestions or answers, I can be sympathetic/empathetic.
