I am not, I am a good listener. I have so many friend who are talkative and I would love to listen to them. Are you talkative? Are you a good listener? Do you like your life partner to be talkative?

I am not a very talkative person, unless I'm in a very weird mood, and then I can go on and on. But that happens very rarely. I'm a very good listener - which is good because my roommate is a BIG talker. I'm not married yet and I'm not sure if I would like my life partner to be talkative or not. I think either way would be fine. I'd probably lean more towards talkative just because I'm a good listener, but someone else who is quiet would also be alright - as long as the silences aren't awkward.

It seems you are also a person like me - a good listener, but not very talkative. I talk a lot when I am very happy and I don't usually have a control on my talk at that time. I don't open my mouth when I am very sad. I think a talkative life partner will be suitable for you. It is my guess. Thanks for the response.

I am also not a very good talkative person. Being a talking is good in some ways and also bad in some ways. Nice talkative persons attracts many friends than the one who is a non-talkative. I would only be talkative with persons who are very close to me otherwise I will think more than twice to utter a single with anyone new or not familiar.

I am not talkative in real but online i am. I am a listener when someone is talking and looking in the eyes. I will just keep on listening to the person if he/she keeps on talking whatever he/she is saying. I like to listen than speaking. I want that my partner would be talkative because i am not. I want him to talk and tell me something important, funny, sad, happy or whatever he wanted to say.

I used to be talkative before i got married, back at uni etc, i dont know why but i have become so quiet, i will have a laugh and whatever not when im a bit tipsy but otherwise i dont really have anything to talk about to anyone. my husband doesnt mind (means he enjoys the peace)!! we havea good coversation every now and then, with my in laws i dont really say much, its all quite gossipy and im not like that! id rather just say something if its useful to anyone else, otherwise i like keeping myself to myself..... i dont know if its a bad thing, but my hisband says that you can see when i am not really being talkative and it doesnt look cold...im worried because i dont talk about any general crap or gossip blah blah that people may think im just stuck up - and im reallllllly not!!!!

I am not a very talkative person too. I hate talking gosspis. I am more talkative when I am with a group of my close friends with whom I can talk whatever I want. If I am in a good mood, I am talkative. Generally, I am a good listener. I feel marrriage has not made much a change in my life. My husband talks more than me and he appreicates that I am a good listener. Thanks for the response.

I am not a talkative person but i am a good speaker as everybody at my office place say this.I am into HR department and whenever there are some interviews or communication with staff,i always get this compliment.I am a good listener also i think people at my workplace have built up an understanding with me to discuss their problems with me related to work and i listen to them patiently.

That is great. Yes, you should be a good listener to do good in your job. Patience is very important in work and in family. I have seen people who are soft spoken or not talkative, but they do very well when they do public speaking or taking a persentation. I wonder how they do that. I think they have in born skill of public speaking, but they don't show it everywhere. Thanks for the response.

I am a talkative person and i never close my mouth for any reasons. In my school days i used to top my class for getting punished because of talking in the class and i have never felt for that. Sometimes i am a good listener but for most of the times, i am not a kind of great listener and especially with Friends around i am not that good in listening. Hence I can say that i am a very talkative person but not a good listener. I wish my partner is calm and quiet because even if she is talkative then the aura for continuous talking would get diminshed to a great extent since the LIKE POLES Repel and OPPOSITE POLES Attract each other and that is the basic mantra of anything. :-)

That sounds interesting. Hope you can find a girl who is soft spoken. I just read a response to this discussion in which the girl said she was very talkative, but after marriage she became silent. Things like that may happen. You might become silent after marriage and your soft spoken wife will start talking. Just kidding. Thanks for the response. Have a good day.

I don't think i am talkative but given a chance on my favorit topic i cannot stop myself. I listen to people to some extent. But when people say blah blah i am not a good listener. I would like my partner to talk the necessary at least when the need arise. He keeps things to hinself and makes a mountain out of a mole hill. When you say about talking i would like to mention something. I hate people who use abusive language and talk vulgar irrespective of the person they are talking to. Happy mylotting.

I am also like you. I talk a lot when it is my favorite topic. I have seen that when we are in a group of talkative people, you won't get a chance to express your thoughts because talkative people included in the group will be talking on and on and there won't be any gap so that you can contribute something. Lol. Thanks for the response.

Talkative: Semi-social (Like to express) Listener: Better listener than talker (Love to hear people show me who they are) Partner: NO, if she talks too much, then I can't get enough sleep or rest. My jaws would be tired just responding back to her! Haha.

Lol.That is interesting, but sometimes everybody feels to be just a listener and ejoys listening to others. My sister is very talkative. When we were staying together at home, she used to narrate the things happened everyday. When I be busy she used to come to with me wherever I go and explain what happened on that day. Thanks for the response.

I speak a lot when I am good at the field on which the talk goes on.Otherwise I am a good listener,ready to learn more.Generally speaking,I don't talk much as I have more works to execute.I am a man of action rather than speech.If somebody wants to put on their burdens to my shoulders I can be a good listener allowing them to flow out,asking some simple questions in the middle so that they shall not miss any details.Then too,I don't give any suggestions or ideas unless they ask for it.Cheers!

I think I also speak a lot when I am with my set of people and when I am excited. If I am exctied, I don't have a control on my talk. If I am sad, I won't talk to anybody. I don't like to listen to somebody also at that time. Thanks for the response.

I am not talkative, but I do not object to listening to people talking on various subjects. They share happiness and sorrows, with smiles and complaints. Listening to their talking might be good for their releasing, a favor in a sense. But when in poor health or poor mood, I prefer to stay away from such talking.

I think you are a person exactly like me. Whenever I am sick or sad or tensed I would like to stay away from talking or group of people, I would prefer to be alone that time. I am talkative when I am with a group of people I like a lot, especially friends. Yes, I enjoy listening too like you. Thanks for the response.

I don’t think I’m a talkative person. Most of time I choose to be a listener, but if I need to talk I can talk. However my husband is a talkative man.When I started to know each other he talked a lot with me. At the time I did not realise he’s a talkative person. Just after we got married I went to a birthday party of his friends. I found he’s so talkative. It seemed he’s the host or man of birthday party. I think being talkative has advantage and disadvantage. The advantage is you can easily mingle with people and built up social relationship. In general talkative person are open and easy going.

No i am not very talkative generally. But when i talk i talk and talk. SOme people talk because they have something to say. Some others talk because they have to say something. Most of the time i prefer to talk about things that has a meaning or is useful. No gossiping and wasting time. I like to share my experiences in life with my younger friends, so that they can learn something good from my experience.

I cannot call myself talkative but I talk well with people and also listen to them when they talk. I would like my partner to talk well because he actually is a bit reserved and keeps things to himself and hardly communicates much especially with outsiders.

I am a very talkative person by nature. But only people who know me well will agree to it. I can talk on anything if I have a good friend with whom I am comfortable. I am not a good listener most of the time. I have a talkative partner so I have no problem at home, because both of us keep yaking all of the time..haha

I am not very talkative. I do like to listen to people who love to talk. I am surrounded by people like that. So it is easier for me to just listen and gather things. Sometimes I give my inputs. I talk a lot when I feel I can contribute to the discussion. Else I keep my mouth shut.

oh! I AM talkative! And i always wanted to get rid of this habit :S Would you believe that i have been termed everywhere even during my school times! People who are talkative cannot keep secrets but i do believe that they are clean at hearts. But when it comes to listening i do listen too. When people share their grievances with me i keep mum and attentively listen to what they say. But when it is my time to talk i don't really love any crosstalks - LOL :P

I am also not talkative but a good listener. I almost don't speak when I am staying with my friends. I act like a detective, I am listening all the time and think about what they are talking. But I won't express my opinion. Once my friend have problems, I usually can hear their voice and give them some honest advise, so that they can think about the problem clearly and make the best decision.
