I would label myself as good listener as I don't tend to talk much, specially if I don't like a person then it becomes very difficult for me to find out topics to talk. So generally I listen to the other person and many times enjoy listening. But when I like a person(which is very rare) then I have many topics to discuss.
So how would you label yourself....a good listener or a talker

Good listeners are mostly quiet people. I think its better to be a good listener than a talker.Its my opinion.

I would label myself as a good listener. I don't talk much either. I love to try and help others with their issues. Or just being there for them to vent.

hi comfort55
hmm, maybe i'd label myself as a listener ?? i think..
when i met new people, i prefer to less speak
but that doesn't mean i don't speak at all
i always start the conversation first, but i start it with some ordinary question
like what do they do now, like their jobs or anything
such topics will help us starting to know our new mate LoL
and after that, i'll just be a good and patient listener, hahahaa
but sometimes i played the role as a fussy talker LoL
since i love to make people laugh
but actually i'm not sure whether they're entertained or not, hahaha
i just try to play my role at the right place, at the right time
thanks a lot comfort55.. ^^

I am a very good listener. I am always there for people when they need me to listen to things they have to say. I am also a good talker if I feel comfortable speaking with someone about things. I mainly listen though. I am not much of a big talker.

I'm a listener and I think that's what most folks want. I enjoy hearing what someone has to say - usually..... unless they go on and on and on and then it starts becoming an imposition at times. Every now and then I meet a special person and we have a great give and take conversation. Most people today seem to really need someone to listen though.

Truly Whittby,many people will talk and talk about their own family usually and not a flicker of second they would think that they have to ask from the other person also...these people are so self-centered.

I would label myself as a good listener as well. I am very friendly but low on topics to dicuss, since my mayor interests are computers and most of the other people like to talk about cars, football, or something else. It is very rare for me to initiate a conversation; I always elaborate on an already started one.
