Are you listener or talker?

I'm more of a talker. We would get along great, lol. But seriously, I do listen to what other people are saying, that is if they have something to say. I like to draw other people out and get them to talk. I write faster than I talk.

I tend to talk a lot, but then I can balance this with listening, which is a discipline for me. However, is there is a conversation going on that I know little about, I just sit quiet and listen to what is being said as I don't think people like others who talk for the sake of talking. Another thing is, that people like to be listened to and acknowledged and a good listening usually has a lot of friends. :-)

I consider myself a listner. However, I also do a little good of talking. Usually it all depends on the topic. I feel embarrassed to let someone talk hours on end, so I find it imperative that I chip in once in a while, and when they don't seem to know what they are talking about, I take over the show to keep things straight.

Well,I am a listener whether it a new or old.I like to listern bcoz if they don't like my words and say anything I will fill bad.That's why I stay as a listener.

I think I am a listener. But I like to talk also only after listening. This way, I can talk better since I already know what the person I am talking with wants. And yes, it is important that you listen first to have a smooth communication with the person whom you are conversing with. So listen you guys... Thanks for letting talking here. :)

I will moderately for both, introvert and extrovert. Depend on the partner's character. If they take for extrovert, so I will choose for introvert. And the vice-versa of it. I take or choose that way so that our meeting will no so dull and quiet. But if I am extrovert at that particular time, I must ensure that I am not hurting my partner or partners with my words and in such a very pleasant way.

I'm definitely a person who listens. I think I have that on my forehead or something because it is amazing what people will tell me. Besides all that, most people don't want to hear someone else talk. They want to be able to tell what is going on in their life, not hear about someone else's. Sad, but true. So I usually just shut up and listen until my ears fall off. : )

No kinda about it. I am shy so I usually listen rather than talk, especially in large groups.

I am definitely more of a listener. It makes me feel real good when I am able to listen to people and help them with their issues. I am working toward becoming a counselor.

Actually, I'm more of a loner. But when I'm with my hubby, I tend to talk more than listen. With my son, I usually listen more than talk.

I am a pretty good listener and a lot of my friends come to me to talk, but at the same time get me started on something I am passionate about and I can talk your leg off. Some times you have to do both. If you only listen and don't really respond they may think you really aren't interested. As you can tell though I really do like to talk. LOL

Here is something you might find interesting. The majority of truly wealthy people are listeners. Why is this? It is because they understand that by listening they can truly comprehend what people want. What is the best way to become wealthy? BY giving people what they want.

it can be both for me because i usually tell some of my problems to my friends and i usually have their advices and they're also like that but sometimes i don't like to talk lol so i just listened to them most of the times

i'm a quiet listener ;p

like you I'm more of a listener around new acquaintances. I don't know them afterall and I wouldn't know what things they want to hear or they might not want to hear. I might say something that might offend them so its better to know them first and listen. however, when I'm with friends, especially close friends, I tend to be a talker too. a mixture actually. I can be a talker and I can be a listener. but most of the times, I'm more of a listener. most of the times I tend to get too timid to talk. LOL and I only get to be a talker when I'm feeling excited and hyperactive. ^__^;;

Well, I love to talk. I love talk lots and lots and lots and I love people listening to me and I want to be an orator one day. But when I have to listen to people, I do listen to them with a lot of attention especially, when it comes to helping them with their problems. But I also like listening to others when they have to share their experiences of various things. So I'm a 70% talker and 30% listener. Ha..ha.

I'm more of a listener. Especially when I meet new acquaintances. Sometimes, I'm at loss for words and just really don't have any idea what to say, the right words at the right time. But there are times when I'm with my family, especially my siblings and we have our little reunion, I can be quite a chatterbox. But just during those occassion. I guess it has something to do with me missing them so much. And I just want to catch up with what's happening in their lives.

i'm the same way. when i meet someone new, 99% of the time i'm SUPER shy. i barely talk, unless they talk to me and then i just say a few words. as time goes on and i get more comfortable with the person i talk a lot more of course, but i'm still mainly the listener type.

I am same to you. But the reason I give you is,in my opinion,being a listener is more genty to others because people has the habit of talking.When you are patient and even be interested in the things he talk,the relationship between you will easier to get alone.

It can be both? :)
