YOU did great because ... in chats/ forums/ and just sharing what a person is going through NO one is or should be keeping score. 

@Ihereforyoudarlin it's totally normal to feel this way in the beginning of your listening journey, and it's normal to feel stressed and anxious, what I can assure you is that this feeling will get lesser and lesser as you listen more, you'll get used to it and then listening will become a bit easier. Remember that it's okay to commit mistakes and fail, since we're volunteers here not professional therapists or psychologists, so there must be some struggles and hardships in order to learn and develop.
