Do you talk a lot?

[JanieB]

My late MIL had never heard of a "companionable silence". She never, ever stopped talking. Whilst Brian and I were very capable of talking for England we also liked our quiet times, to read a book, do a crossword or just sit in the sun and contemplate the view .

I enjoy a good natter with my friends and family, but we're comfortable enough to sit in silence if there's nothing to say. I have learned the art of small talk, having worked with the public for nigh on 20 years, it's a must! But sometimes I stand there and think, pleeeaaaase go away, I don't want to hear your life story!! Like many folk, I've been told I have 'one of those faces' - you know the one that old biddies can't resist at the bus stop and before you can get a word in edgeways, you know their family history, including the names of everyone of the grandchildren and how much of a worry they are! Hmm, now that I've considered it, maybe I'm more of a listener!!!!

I think I'm quite chatty but not incessant. If I want to say something I say it. However, when people are wittering on about something I have no interest in I don't feel the need to get me motty in. I can cruise in neutral for ages!

I'm quiet by nature but could became chattier depending on the situations (and mood). Sometimes meeting up with an old friend and family can turn me chattier. I do enjoy my peace and quiet time though .

I'm a fairly quite person and find it hard to talk to new people and am cr@p at small talk, but this past year or so I've been trying to be a bit more "sociable" and make the effort.
Having said that, when I,m with Family and friends, espesh my sisters, I'm a noisy moo, and if you get me talking about veg.... well i'll bore the pants off you!

I don't talk a lot .Quite happy to sit for 3-4 hours in silence as is Mrs B but when the need arises we can talk about anything but talking for the sake of talking is not something either of us do.

Too Quiet For You?

I'm quite shy with strangers, and dont see the point in too much smalltalk for the sake of it, but when I get going about a favourite topic I can talk for england!
