I think that there are two types of person in this world. First, they are who love to communicate through the text. And the second one, they are who love to communicate by talking. Whether it's face to face or in a group. I don't know, does it something to do with the personality like extrovert, introvert and ambivert or not. But I think that the personality plays a big role in this case. Although that public speaking skill can be learned. I myself referred to me as a text person. I'm trying hard to talk with people around me and I only can stand it like for less than 10 minutes. Feels like there are no words anymore in my brain. I'm stuck. But through the text I feel like there are lots of things can be discussed. I almost never ever using voice note to chat with people online. And these days my youtube and TikTok showing videos about talking with strangers on OmeTV. That's interested me. I would like to talk like them too. It sounds fun. But then I realized that my English speaking is still weak and likewise with my public speaking skill. Maybe I need to develop these skills. So, what about you guys?

I can do both. I text when I am not free to talk, but I will talk if the person is face-to-face. I text or sign if the person has difficulties with hearing.

@Desywe We have similar traits. I don't usually start a conversation with strangers unless they need help like asking for directions or something. That's why some people see me as arrogant, but oh well, why should I care

Yeah, so do I. But I feel hard to talk with people who don't really close to me. Like, I don't talk when they don't ask.

@Desywe I start chatting when I have a topic, not when I am not in a mood to.

Oh that's great, I don't even know how to start a new topic when there is no more thing we talk about. It will be different if I talk to my family or my close friends

I prefer to talk , l prefer hearing a voice talking back to me. I never text unless it is the only alternative for me.
