Are you a talker?

Do you talk more or listen more?

Luba · 01-04-2006, 09:34 PM

I talk lots but don't listen well, for some reason especially to family...just ask Duke...

Merika · 01-04-2006, 09:38 PM

I talk all the time too. I hardly ever shut up. If I ever stayed married very long....I would drive some poor guy quite crazy with my endless chattering and nagging.

Luba · 01-04-2006, 10:02 PM

I literally have to take myself to another room just to give my husband peace and quiet....took me a long, long time to learn that! He's a night person, I'm a morning person, and I used to chatter as soon as he got up...it's a wonder I'm still married to the same guy!

Being on the internet really helps alot. At least someone wants to READ what you've got to say.....even if they wouldn't want to LISTEN to it.

Isn't that the truth...I think my husband loves the Internet for that reason alone

I wonder if he's paying Duke on the side for all the peace and quiet..... LOL!

If not, he should be.

I try to listen more if possible but if I see an opening and have something to say, your in for the ride,

right lu?

it depends with friends i never shut up with strangers im kinda quiet.

Weiser · 01-05-2006, 01:21 PM

It depends. A lot of the time I talk, but sometimes I just let her do the talking

I talk lots, I can't stand uncomfortable silences or silences in general. If there is music, I'm good, but if there isn't, I'm singing or yammering.

Merika · 01-05-2006, 05:52 PM

Me too Wesier. I always feel like I have to fill up the empty space of silence.

I went on a date once though and I tried really hard to keep the conversation going just to SEEM like I was having a good time. Out of nowhere he said 'Do you EVER shut up???'. I told him to kiss my a$$ and went to the bar to sit with another guy who more enjoyed my verbal gift. HAHA.

Adonaicole · 01-06-2006, 01:14 PM

I'm more of a listener, but I do like to talk when I have something important to say...don't get me started on politics or religion...ha, ha...

:wink: Here's me wishing I was the guy at the bar, waiting to listen to Merika after she got treated poorly by her date. What a fool, if I wanted silence, I would kiss you repeatedly.

DAMMIT MAN....you make my heart SWOON!

:bouncered: ........... that's my heart bouncing all around.

I'm not really a talker, I don't like to talk, sometimes people talk just for the sake of hearing their own voices and I assure you that's not what I'm about, no, I'd much rather listen than talk because listening makes my learn where talking just makes other people wonder what I may be on or if I was ever dropped as a child, sometimes I start a conversation just to hear the other person talk but I rarely interject because I'm not much of a talker and I really hate people who just don't know when to stop talking, rest assured you'd never hear me ramble on when no one wants to hear me talking, if anyone ever tells me to zip up I'd be the last person to keep going on incessantly just talking away. Nope, I'm certainly not a talker.
