I'm quiet, but I can be more chatty, it depends on who I'm talking to and how I'm feeling.

Carving on lovely old table in Budapest:

"Words are like leaves - Where they most abound
The fruit of truth below is rarely found"

I don't do small talk either, and people who are afraid of silence seem to me to be a bit insecure in themselves - maybe that will offend some people and sorry in advance if it does. I find constant chatter exhausting as well, and I find myself switching off and daydreaming in the middle of it, so I can find some peace...

might be rude, but it's my coping mechanism!

I think I can hold forth on things quite well when they interest or engage me but I've never been a 'talking for talking's sake' sort of person and I'm rubbish at making small talk with people I don't know or don't share any interests with. I've had a friend round for coffee this morning though, whilst our little boys played together and heck, can she talk

She's lovely but it's as if she'll crumble and turn to dust if there's a single moment of silence! I felt really rather tired after she'd gone

Are you a gabber or the quiet type?

The thought is is she lonlely you may be the first person she has had a good chinwag with for a long time probably the little boy is a bit to close and playing with your lad gave her a bit of space loneliness works in different ways with different people this is what i think i might be totaly wrong but you never know

I rather enjoy my own space and peace and quiet. however, I do sometimes feel the need for a natter and probably annoy the heck out of people at those times.

Isn't one of the signs of true friendship that you can spend time together and not speak, if you're that close quite often it's the silences that can be important.

Totally take your point JM and ironically I think I may have 'gone on a bit' myself when I've not seen anyone for a little while

but my mate works outside the home, has a really big social circle, babysitters so she can go out etc and still she doesn't stop! She's a really lovely person ansd we certainly never suffer from awkward silences, lol, it's just a bit alien to me!

**samw04** · 01-02-2008, 05:47 PM

i can be both but times when i don't want to talk much i don't go out, and then when i do, i wont shut up but i do laugh at myself and make a joke out of it so my mates arn't afraid to tell me to shut the hell up coz it aint just alot, it pointless bo****ks as well. but hey i've always bin the same my oldest is as well but she's also blond so that don't help her cause.

Depends on the level of caffeine in my bloodstream. I like it quiet but can sometimes gabble on about total nonsense for ages after a coffee.

Nicely put Hans Mum. Thats how I feel a lot of the time. I'll ring my mum mose days or one of my sisters, and Steve often has something to say about earache

but quite happy to be quiet on my own at other times.
