Do you prefer talking or listening?

[Anonymous]

Talking!

Listening!

[Sonorous]

Listener around people I don't really know well or maybe like much & a talker around those I do.

But I will say that for me, listening is always something I'll do. I never talk to people without actually listening to what they say. I'll just either prefer to talk less or more depending on who I'm chatting with.

If I'm honest with myself I would have to probably say talking. I'm a talker to be sure. I'm very sociable and like good conversation. That isn't to say that I'm not a good listener when I need to be. Especially true when a friend or loved one is having issues. I will always be the one to listen to someone's problems. In general though I'm much more of a talker when I'm out with friends or something like that.

I'm accustomed with listening and give my friends in most cases affirmation they expect, because this is the main reason people talk with you. Personally I don't have the desire to share my problems with others and don't want even hear their opinion about, because I think when I open myself I show inability to make a decision.

I honestly have no preference. I love listening to people talk about things that they're passionate about or bothering them.

I love talking too but my speech disorder coupled with feeling like no one wants to hear me talk, makes me rarely talk about things with people.

I'm more of a listener, talking only when it's appropriate.

I work in a place full of women. And yet I am always the one who starts a conversation. Then I ended up being the one who does all the talking. And yet I would prefer to listen and respond. Anyways these people don't care about me. I think it is obvious because they don't ever seek me out.

[IslaTheWitch]

it depends :/

Sometimes, I'm a talker. Sometimes, a listener. Sometimes, I'm with someone who needs some support and then I listen to them. And sometimes, I just need to get things out.

40/60... I prefer listening...

curious by nature... and always intrigued

[AaronKrieger]

Listening. I feel self-centered when I talk about myself too much in a conversation with someone, so I would rather ask them questions and make them feel good.

I love to listen. I have a ton to say but I prefer to listen.
Which definitely doesn’t come across through text.

I do both. I listen real good to what the person is saying, then I talk about it afterwards. I just feel as if I have something to share, so I talk.

[DancingQueen16]

I'm more of a listener because sometimes when I start talking about a topic I really like I sometimes tend to ramble on about that topic for a while

[Brittanykeen88]

I enjoy talking more but I am an excellent listener

[rosemilk]

i'm a great listener. talking... not so much

[menina]

I'm better at listening, so I would say that's my preference. I'm not much of a talker.

Listening, but I do want to be somewhere in the middle. The problems are my shyness and lack of things to say. (My life is painfully boring, which makes my shyness even worse.)

This week I have a sore throat, so, definitely listening- this week at least.

[deus_ex_sisyphus]

I suppose its quite egotistical, but I generally prefer to lead a conversation.

[Anonymous]

Depends on the subject. I enjoy either if I like the subject.

[whistlingwh0res]

I try to listen end up talking. I know it’s bad. I need a conversation skill

[QuietRunner]

Two ears, one mouth

66% of the time, I should be listening.

[Boomchakalaca]

As an introvert i observe

[Lisia]

I like to listen, I'm a bad talker anyway.

[Simslover92]
