Are you usually a teller or a listener? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 75/100. benbenlgml (111)3 months ago

Before my graduation from university, I was a typical teller. It seemed I had a lot of to talk to my friends and classmates every moment. No matter I met any body or experienced anything, I would tell them in high spirit. Haha, everybody said I was particularly energetic. If there was any little thing not being spoken out at the moment, I definitely would find a chance to tell somebody. So I was afraid to be asked to keep something as a secret. So before somebody told me something and asked me to keep it a sceret, I won't promise usually. Please do not tell me if it can't be opened. haha... It seems very selfish.
However, I seldom talk now. I like sit before my PC and do something by myself. Though usually I will write something in forum, I would rather write than say. Friends can't accept my change, they have been used to be my listener.

Sometimes you met these people where you can't get a word in. Have you ever met that type? Your lucky if you can get in a few "uhum". Then you have the type where they hardly say a word. I perfer to keep company with people that talk and listen. Like me.

i would have to say i'm more of a listener myself. if the company i'm with is not that talkative, then i try to bring up topics and all but that's like a last resort for me as i'm really bad at it but i can do it if i want to. i'm just not good at it.
but i am good at listening to others. or rather compared to the two, listening is what i prefer anyway. for me, this has always been the case thus, when i actually speak out, my friends are surprised. hehe


myLot reputation of 75/100. benbenlgml (111)  3 months ago

yes, the same situation for me now.

Usually I am a listener, and I like to listen to others to talk, no matter what about. That is a interesting experience to me. I can know what other people think, what other people experience, and lots of information. That is one way I know the world. Only when I am with my close friends, I will have the desire to talk about what I think and experienced, and discuss with them, and the share time will make me happy.

As a listener, if you tell me a secret, it will be a secret forever.


myLot reputation of 75/100. benbenlgml (111)  3 months ago

I only talk a lot to my close friends. And as you said, I like listening to others now.

Hi:
I also am a talker; however, I can keep a secret. I have secrets that I have not told anyone for years. I don't know what has happened to the people who told them to me but I still keep their secret. I like to talk to people about myself and not so much as tell what others have told me unless it pertains to me. Although, I now am changing and trying more to listen to others. I have been told I am a good listener. I think I can be when someone needs a person to listen to them. Everything changes including us. I am glad we are able to change and not stay the same in all aspects of our lives. Even though, I am sure I will never change to the point that I tell secrets.


myLot reputation of 75/100. benbenlgml (111)  3 months ago

I couldn't keep something as a secret so I would tell somebody not to tell me if it couldn't ne opened, haha... Well, now, I can.

I am a listener. If someone tells me something, I don't tell anyone even if they don't tell me not to.

I am most of the time a listener and already used to it, and latley have a friend started to ask me lots of questions and want me to tell him more, especially when I am upset or something. But I really suck at telling people mine problems and I think I made it look like I did not want to tell him... glare

Depends on the person I am with.If he or she doesn't talk much I'm the guy who does it.In general I'm an average talker.
