"You just being here to listen to me ramble on is help enough."

Could someone point out the grammatical flaws (if any) in this sentence?

Appreciate it.

Hi,

"You just being here to listen to me ramble on is help enough."

Could someone point out the grammatical flaws (if any) in this sentence?

Some people would say it is fine.

Some people would say it should be

"Your just being here to listen to me ramble on is help enough."

Best wishes, Clive

I would have written

Just your being here ...

Actually Clive I think those educated people say it this way

"You're just being" or "You are just being"

Folks like us would think it is perfectly ok to say "You just being...", or "Your just being..."
From what I know is, alot of my friends uses "You just"

WilliamCeducated people say it this way

"You're just being" or "You are just being"
But that's a different meaning.

You are just being here to listen is not the same as just your being here to listen.

The first means 'you are here for the purpose of listening and that purpose only', and it is a complete sentence.
