I've met this college friend a year ago. I like her, she's funny and extremely talkative...while I'm the opposite,more on the listening thing. If I will be told to speak something about her, I have had lots to tell. If you'll ask her 'bout me, she got nothing to say than my name,my place and the quite one. What I have learned was that, 'try to listen some time and you'll know'.

Maybe she is opposite at home. Most people are like that and that's there coping mechanism to stress out there burdened feelings to something.

hi! i agree with you because i am like that too. my friends known me as a happy and dolly person but they just don't know inside of me is burning with depressions and problems. as you have said it is our defense mechanism, we act like we have no problem at all that's why sometimes they told me that it's like i have no problem at all. people like that should not be misjudged just because they are talkative or active, i salute you for having a good perspective..

Yeah that is very true, its not always about you in a friendship its a two way relationship. You share ups downs good and bad times. you at the very least listen. I once had a friend who was also very talkative and although she was very a very thoughtful and beautiful natured person her personality is very over whelming to some people as they feel bombarded when around her like she only wants to give, share or talk about her own life and never learn about anyone else's even in your life isnt as busy or important in their eyes if they were a true friend they would also listen and ask about you learn about you, have an interest in your opinion instead of always trying to sway you to see things from their eyes.

Listening is as important as talking so we should try to balance both. We should know when to talk and when to give others a chance to talk, that's the time we should listen.
