Can you write/type more than you speak?

My friends tell me that I am talkative in email, chat or text messaging more than when we're together talking. Well, I am learning to talk right now. That's my past, believe me! :) What about you? ~mar

I am really talkative and bubbly according to my friends.. Wherever I go hehehe.. I just love to talk and same thing, I do talk a lot also in emails and chat, not so much in text though. I can't help it.. I love to talk and well so far i'm giving life to my crowd. There are people who can express themselves well in writing than in talking, so don't wonder why you are more active with conversations through writing, that is just normal. But it's much nicer if you really can convey them by talking. That's good! at least u are starting to learn to talk a lot right now.. It's not hard, just be comfortable with the people u r with and you'll find it easy to really talk... see!! I am talking too much now!! good luck jalbeos!! :)

Haha, you are! I work in the company where talking is important. Customers ask questions, you have to answers, you have to talk. So, my workplace is the right place for me to learn. Hey, you are worth for a + rating. Thanks for your response. ~mar

I know I type more than I speak! First of all I have a lot more people to "talk" to on here than I do in real life. Also I look a lot younger than I really am so I think in person I don't appear to be as experienced and knowledgeable as I really am so people don't take me seriously like they do on here or in other online conversations. It's also easier for me to express myself in written words when I have the chance to think about what I'm saying. On area where I KNOW that instant messaging has been a big communication helper is with my s/o's teenage son. We rarely talk in person. We can but it's hard to get the conversation started. When we are both on our computers though we can talk for hours. He really opens up about things and we get along great.

I am like that too. Mostly I have spent a lot of time writing here more than in my real life. I am facing my computer all day and I usually email, chat and text my friends. So, I seldom use my mouth but I love to learn to talk right now, its very important in conversation. ~mar

I have gotten really good at typing as fast as I can speak, often times typing and speaking at the same time. Sometimes when I am writing a note on which I want someone else's imput, I'll type the note as I am speaking it aloud to the person in the room, or on the phone.

Well I am talkative, sometimes they say makulit ako. Unlike before I am so shy type that can't speak in front of many people. I am always writing a poem, there I say anything about what I feel and what I see. But now I already developed my self-confidence it really helps me gain more friends and happy life.

I am a shy type of person before too. I can't even answer if somebody asks me. That was weird. Well, not now, I have learned talking to public, in front of the people. So, good for you and congrats by the way. ~mar
