Are you a chatterbox?

I can be a chatterbox at times. And when that happens, there's no stopping me. But sometimes I really don't have a lot to say... My husband thinks it hilarious being around my family because we all just talk talk talk all at the same time. And we all know what everyone else is saying.

Though I love to talk..yet I would not say that I am a chtter box. I love the compnay of those, who keep on talking....because I do not like that two people are sitting together and they are silent. I would love to listen to others in the conversation.I try to give ample opportunity to my friends and near and dear ones to tell their side of story. I hear them very patiently, then only I tell story of my side. Wish one day...I could be your side and listen to you.......LOL!

On the contrary, I am a good listener and kind of talk very less, literally. I would hardly talk out of the way, out of turn and when I am supposed to talk I give the synopsis in precise, brief words. No wonder, I am appreciated at my workplace but you can imagine the plight of family and friends who would get utmost curious to make me speak. lol.. But then they love me for this only. They would confide in me anything and everything and I love them for that. And see, you are a chatterbox! no wonder you are my friend. All my friends are so vibrant and always bubbling with more words to befit their thoughts. *laughs* Love you the way you are!

I don't know if I'd call myself a chatterbox...though others might I don't know LOL. But I do have my moments! And I am a piss poor listener and am always struggling to be a better listener. It's just that I've got thoughts running a mile a minute nearly all the time in my head. So much so it's hard to sleep at times or concentrate and focus.

LOL--you would probably drive me nuts then!! Hehee only kidding--I'm the complete opposite of a chatterbox...maybe because I was an only child and grew up pretty much alone. I mean I have no problem about communicating my thoughts, but maybe since I can express myself better through writing I make up for my verbal communication by writing...for instance I do write short stories..uh, right..the shortest is about twenty pages long, while the longest is about 70 pages long..

Well, I'm a mix of the two. I'm a good listener and I like to talk. Luckily, people don't see me as annoying as I thought they would. Sometimes I even annoy myself to a point where I'm literally saying "Shut up." to myself. Quite weird and quirky if you ask me.

hi viswan! no i am not a chatterbox. most of the time, i am too lazy to talk. but sometimes, when i am really comfortable, i let my guard down and talk freely. but i talk with consideration to others. like i don't talk too loudly especially when i am in a public place. or i don't talk when the church service is going on, or when somebody else is talking, like on a stage. i think it is really rude to continue talking when others are talking as well--even if they are not talking to us personally. God bless you! :-) take care...

I was always a chatter box.Now ofcourse I live all by myself even if i want ot talk there is no one to listen.But when i meet up with people I used to jabber alot.I have sobbered down alot and have learnt to listen that saves you of alot of trouble.I would not be blurting out unnecessarily.

I am neither. I am not a chatterbox, I am not the listener to a chatterbox, and I don't hate chatterboxes.I never talked that much. I never went though the talikng on the phone phrase when I was a teen. In fact I hate telephones.I don't have to listen to any chatterboxes so I don't know if it would get on my nerves.

hi sviswan! ^__^ i only become a chatterbox when i get drunk. and it still depends on the mood during the drinking "session". ^__^;; if the mood is happy, i will talk and laugh as if there's no tomorrow. LOL but if the mood is serious, even if i'm drunk i'll have the control to keep my thoughts in my mind. ^__^ i get talkative too when i'm feeling hyperactive because of something very good that happened. but during normal times, i talk less and usually prefer to stay quiet and just react when needed. ^__^

I like to talk as much as the next person, but I like it even more when someone will do all the work & I only have to grunt a few times to keep them going. So long as they don't repeat themselves too often. I've learned a few conversation starters, then I can sit back & let others talk. Well, it works for me, I'd probably like you...LOL

It is very funny to hear that you got paid because you are talkative:) I will be talkative to my good friends. As to the strangers or someone who I don't like, then I don't want to speak more. My dad is a real chatterbox and he can talk to anyone for a whole day without feeling tired. In the New Year holiday, he ever spoke to my husband until 5am next day. The result is both of them were tired. And my dad felt sick after that.

I am a chatterbox, too. I go places and talk to people I don't even know. It used to be that everyone was like me, now when I go to the store, some people act like I have 2 heads. Between all the terrible people in the world and everyone being told from birth to not talk to strangers, it's really hard to do that now, but most people see me as harmless. Take care

I also used to be a chatterbox but after marraige it came down drastically as I realised how important and good it is to be listener than a speaker with some unpleasant experiences within my family.

I am a chatterbox. But, I am not the worse I have ever known. Some people can not help themselves and it is sad. I offered my then seven year old niece a dollar to be quiet for a half hour. She really tried, but could not do it. I ended up giving her the dollar, because I know she really tried. I knew this girl once. She got on her parents nerves so bad that she said they would tell her, go to your room and don't come out until we tell you to. I have been in the middle of explaining to someone that they talk too much and they can't even hear me, because they never stop talking. The thing that I hate is when I am talking to a friend on the phone and I tell them that I have to go and they keep on talking. Even if I am falling asleep, they continue to talk. I have been know to put the phone down or simply hang up. I mean, what else am I to do?

I would way rather be around someone who can keep up their end of the conversation. It is not that I'm a bad listener, it is just that I can't stand trying to listen to people who are not talking. Long pauses in conversation drive me up the wall. So if you will talk I will listen, but if you sit there a look at me and say nothing, then I will probably fill the space! Of course if the chatterbox is selfish and just hogging the conversation that is another matter., but I know you would never do that!

I'm a listener, and fear not, my patience is high most of the time. I know it might shock a few, but yes I'm more of a listener and not much of a talker. Maybe that's why I have a penchant for net discussion. Well, there are times in real life I have the same discussions, or even deeper discussions. Rambling, but just something I thought of.

I can imagine the plight of that friend! He must indeed have suffered a lot to have paid someone just to be quiet. I guess i belong to the listener category. I am more of a listener than a chatterbox. The problem with such talkers is that they don't realise that not everyone enjoys their prattle... I hope i will never have to travel with you (no hard feelings :) )

im a listener and a talker.. ime very bad for talking as i always have something to say... but i do shut up once in awhile when im having conversations with pople who just need me to listen to them... my oldest daughter is the same was as me.. not sure about the youngest as she just likes talking and keeps going around mum mum mum mum mum and taps me on the legs...

I wish I could be more outgoing but I had always been the silent type. I am an introvert, I usually keep things to myself. When I am in a discussion, I tend to be the listener rather than the talker. Sometimes people even tell me that I should say something too. LOL
