This is all about REAL LIFE CONVERSATIONS, not on GAG.

Personally I like to listen, not because I don't like to talk, Actually I don't find anything to talk about after 5min of conversation.

[Wuai201]

Depends on who I'm speaking to and what's the topic
Parents-listener
Friends-I lean more as a listener
Brothers-speaker
Female strangers and coworkers trying to get know me - I will speak until someone HAS to leave
Male strangers- coin flip, if I feel weird, think he's attractive or realize he's the talker- I'll listen
If he seems friendly- I'll talk

And if anyone excluding my parents, brings up a topic that I'm passionate about expect me to be mute (if you strongly disagree with me) or to yap your head off until you leave (if you agree or are open minded ) If I see you again, I will bring up the conversation again with new evidence, details, whatever
I will talk until my mouth is dry and my lips are chapped then I'll grab my water bottle and take a sip before I continue 😌

I will talk to you 3-4 hours straight no cap

I'm definitely a talkative person. I used to be a bad listener 😅 but I worked on that and now I can be a very good listener whenever someone wants to share something with me. I make sure I listen and nod without interrupting them. My friends actually prefer it that I speak most of the times. They happily listen to my stories and when they're in the mood to share whether fond memories or their opinions, I gladly listen. So, yeah, I'm kinda lucky I got people with patience.

speaker.

i guess i love the sound of my voice too much.

not a bad listener though, just expressing myself is more my deal.

you can see it from how i use this site

no question but who knows how many answers.

[sayan7]

I was talking about real life conversations, by the way what kinda things you talk about mostly?

[aceleon]

that's the tricky part. nothing, yes i do have prefered topics but i can talk about pretty much anything as long as i know what i'm talking about.
i'm more of a reactor than initiator, give me something to talk about and as long as i know the topic even mildly i can go from there.
but if i would choose a topic myself i would choose movies, series, animes etc etc.

[mysteriousNicholas]

Excuse me, I'm talking 😙😁

[Nikki1989]

Either one, depending on the situation.

On gag? Snoop and pounce.

[sayan7]

🤣🤣 No, in real life conversations.

[Opinion Owner]

People like to talk about themselves far more than listen. So I enjoy triggering them.

[sayan7]

Any trick to do that?

[Opinion Owner]

Just pay attention. What people wear. What they are buying. What they are doing. Ringtones. There are volumes in silence.

[Jennz6]

I usually just listen

[Anonymous]

I'm mostly listener.

[Opinion Owner]

Just like you, I don't talk much.
