Do you listen?

or are you waiting to talk?

 

If a person is talking about something of interest, I join in the conversation.
Their is little point of speaking, if no one is listening and wanting add their opinions.
Equally, their is little point in listening, if you have no interest in discussing the subject.

 

Actually, I'm usually worried about how I should respond. But I'm learning that at least with some people, they don't care if you respond at all, so long as you're listening. I might throw a comment out at the end just to assure them I was paying attention. In person I am very quiet. And even though these people just seem to want to talk about themselves, I don't mind, as I have nothing to say about myself. I prefer it that way. I'm fine just listening.

 

If the person is wrong, then I want to talk. And everyone is always wrong.

 

Same I am the most argumentative person in the Whole World everyone tells me !

 

I’m really not argumentative. I just think I’m right.

 

I am beginning to feel sorry for your poor husband.

 

i listen when there's no one there, robbing me of what i want to hear.

 

I make it up to him

 

neither. i'm waiting for silence.

 

I hate when people do this. It's always so obvious they were just waiting for their turn to talk. I used to listen to 2 old coworkers do this all day long every day and it was almost comical. But really annoying

 

Listen to what?

 

Mmhmm mhmm right.
I totally read all these posts, and I get what you're saying.

Anyways, so you wouldn't believe the day *I* had.

 

I'm an introvert and, I'm told, am very quiet. From my perspective, I talk just enough and everyone else is spewing mostly nonsense. So I listen uncomfortably most of the time and just nod my head.

 

same. people keep telling me i never talk, and i feel like i never shut up.

 

I listen much better than I talk.

After I say more than a few sentences, I tend to get become aware of the way I sound and it makes me want to stop saying things

 

I'd rather listen.
A lot of the time I don't make sense when talking. When my mouth starts, I can't focus on what my brain is trying to tell it to say.

 

I listen. You learn a lot more from listening than talking and a hell of a lot more than waiting for a chance to interject.

 

I went to look at a brand new truck and this stupid looking yuppy fuck comes walken out of the dealership to talk to me outside. He reeked like hell of cheap cologne and just would not leave me alone so I interrupted just to give him a piece of my mind..

Get the fuck out of face, go bug someone in some other place, shut your fucken mouth because I don't wanna talk to you. I'm only giving you one choice and that's to turn off your damn voice, you'll be glad you did and I will too.
