I really don't like talking to people on IM's

Its just weird to carry on a decnet converstaion

 

I was starting to think I was the only one. I mostly like IMing to plan when to meet up. I figure if somethings worth talking about, it's worth talking about in real life.

 

Yea, I actually prefer something like this website instead of IM's most of the time, its less like a real conversation


IDK, its ok for some things, but for just having a normal converstaion IM's suck
You have to have something specific to ask or say if your going to IM someone which is fine for when you do, but otherwise theres no casual conversation

 

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
also, I'm a pretty random/spontaneous person, which is where most of my fun in talking comes from, and having to type just kills that.

 

Yeah, I don't like talking on IM either, but what's even stranger is that I don't like talking on the phone either. When I talk to someone, I always want to talk in person.

 

Really? You guys are strange. I actually like to talk via IM compared to normal conversations, but I'm not super social which could be the reason.

 

Ya, I'm not a huge phone fan either. Its better than IMing, but unless I'm talking to someone who I know really well, it's hard to have a normal conversation one the phone.
PS sweet sig

 

I dont really IM or talk on the phone much unless its to my girlfreind. Either then that I think its all pointless, if I talk to a person it'll be to their face

 

It really depends to who you are talking to, I talk a LOT with people on IM's, mainly because my friends are in Santo Domingo and Im in Ottawa and though there's a bunch of people in my contacts there's very few I have meaningful conversations with and those are the ones that I talk to most of the time. but if you think about it it's weird to carry on a decent converstion with some (a lot of) people face to face :tongue:

 

I don't mind IMing people. It gives me more time to think about what I want to say without those awkward silences. Calling someone for the first time on the phone terrifies me. I think it started when I called my girlfriend and her mom answered pretending to be her.

 

I hate talking on the phone. I like IM'ing people though.

 

I find that a lot of the time (but not always), not thinking about what I want to say works out better for me. I think it's because I tend to over-think things.
