Some people are very talkative. They like to speak something or other, while few are reserved and calm type. I speak less but listen more. So I like to converse with other people. How about you? Do you like to converse with people?

I am a great listener, I don't talk much but I prefer to listen and it's amazing what you can pick up when you concentrate your hearing skills on conversations etc, not that I am rude and listen in but sometimes you can't help it as some people talk loudly and deliberately for others to hear. I am but a shy person and I don't talk to strangers, maybe because I am wary and self conscious but sometimes that's not always a bad thing and by listening which is a good skill to have you are actually appreciated more than being too talkative!

Hi there smilyn! I love conversing with people. However, I do not converse with just anyone. If I were to spend my time conversing with people, I would like to converse with people who talk with sense. I do not want to get involved in nonsense discussions. I easily get bored with people who are senseless. I also enjoy conversing with people who can share a great deal of knowledge by imparting opinions and views on topics at hand. I do not want to dominate the discussion so I would really love to hear from the people I talk to also.

You are right..Certain people talk nonsense things..Talking with them not only wastes our time but it is an useless one too..It is always better to be selective with people and choose the ones with whom we could be more comfortable..

Hi smilyn... Well, I guess you can say that I do enjoy conversing with people. Although I've always been the reserved and calm type, with the kind of work that I have, I really don't have a choice but to actually talk. Lol. I guess with the job that I have right now, I was able to develop my speaking skills, so to speak. I'm not as shy as I was before.

That is great. I think you have achieved a great skill through your job. It is not an easy task to communicate with people. Though it is an acquired skill, you have got it..My best wishes to you to be successful in your life using this skill.
