Why do people like to talk so much?

I am a chatterbox I am not a gossip, I don't like that. Ilike joining in interesting conversations about a wide variety of topics except gossiping about the neighbours and the like. I join in everywhere, at the hairdressers, on the bus in the shops. If there's a conversation going on it makes no difference whether I know the people or not, I just wait for an opportunity and join in. I have made a lot of friends that way too. After all, what were we given our tongue for if not to talk?

yeah....unknown people get to know here and we share their xperience,good ,bad everything....its good to chat with people...ull get to know wat the world is all about

I have this fault myself. Last night I met two old friends and just kept talking on and on. They did encourage me and I welcomed the entree and talked more and more. Personally, I like to do that. Especially when others are not talking at all.

I am also turned off by people who talk a lot. It doesn't matter so much if they are my family or friends, because I usually do what you do...stand back and listen. I especially hate talking to people on the phone that I am not comfortable talking to. This one time, I was planning a bridal shower for this co-worker of mine. She said she didn't have any friends, and I felt bad for her...so I decided "I" would plan and prepare her bridal shower. Another friend of hers...happend to be the ex-wife of the man that I was interested in...wanted to help me "thow the bidal shower" so she called me at night, and we talked about the party....oh my gosh, this woman could "talk!" I'm more the quiet type, and she pretty much held up the conversation all night...but I kept thinking to myself..."does she ever stop talking?"

I think it depends on what they talk. I can be quiet when they talk something that I am not interested at all. Also, I can be the so talkative..

I think i just like you,dont like hear or talk too much.But when someone want to talk to me,I would eager to listen.

If I consider him a friend , I will carefully listen to , otherwise I will leave

Well there are really people who are like that. They just like to share things and express themselves. It's alright to socialize with people but we have to balance everything. Like be good speakers and at the same time, be good listeners too.

maybe depends on the occasion, if the person who talks so much but has a lot of sense and if I will gain understanding to what that person talks about its's fine with me, but if that person talks about crap and trash talking, I'll back off and try to avoid her/him. I find it easy to socialize with people who is very approaching and is true to themselves. Talking a lot does not bother me as long as the topic is interesting and not gossip!(^_^)

Yeah, I love socializing and it does not bother me. I just go with the flow of the mood and discussion and let myself be involved. I'm happy with it as long as we're at the right place and time :)

It's indeed annoying to know someone who monopolizes the scene when he/she socializes. Although we understand that this is sometimes the way for others to catch the attention of everybody but talking too much gives a negative impression from the hearers. It's irritating and more than often this kind of persons can bring our patience to the lowest level..Above all, such can sometimes prevent a more informative and timely topic to discuss since the time is consumed already by his/her talking.

I agree with you!some people love saying others private things.when i hear my private thing had been said,i feel badly.that gossip always bother me.

People talk so much because that's their way of expressing themselves.A friend of mine told me that it is better for her to talk a lot than being quiet because according to her the problem that she's going through is like fire that grows fast if she's just their silent..She's just finding a way to atleast relieve the pain or problem she's encountering.. There are a lot of people who talk so much..and I don't know why they need to do so.The only reason I know is like what I have said.They just want to express theirselves..('.')

Usually i'd like to talk with familiar people, but inevitably , i must socialize with strangers, even pretend we are familiar with each other. When this happens, i will try to enjoy these new ffiends, and come uo with some interesting topics,and move on the discussion, but if i find i couldn't invovle in the new group, i just want to be a listener. And maybe from their talks, i can learn something helpful, like how to socialize with strangers who you don't like or you don't kown at all. When you don't want to talk, maybe just listening.

It doesn't bother that much to me,but sometimes when it is nonsense already or when u'r tired you don't like to be disturb.

Same to me, I dont really talk that much to stranger... remain quiet is the best way for you to get yourself out of trouble. I serve service to customers all the time and I do talk to different kind of people, but when out side job then I am different... I dont talk as much as I do at work; I can't understand why either or may be I have been talking for so long and I need some quiet or something. but as I know myself better that I dont talk much to someone that I dont know.

No socializing don't bother me. What I normally do is joined a conversation that interests me.

Hello, it's natural to talk a lot if there's many things to discuss about. However that being said, I somehow found out that opposites sexes mix better. Meaning, a guy conversates better with a girl and vice versa. I don't know how true this is but seeing the people and situations around, it seems pretty true in my opinion. :)

i ussualy avoid the people who likes to hear themselves talking. they talk and talk and talk. i have such an friend, she's a good person but when she starts to talk, you can go crazy. i try to meet with her as rare as i can. when she talks, i let my mind go free and just say, from time to time, ok, yes, ans that's what i do.

sometime she or he just want to said too much beecause some trouble things attract them ,but sometime they just want to experess their minds clearly ,and never care about others feelings it make us boring , keep clam open your mouth when yo need not speak too much ,just like i do
