Which type are you? Talk or type / write? Or both?

I am more of a talk-person but in terms of being VERY EXPRESSIVE and being TRUE, I prefer to write. I write it all because it is safer than expressing it verbally. Sometimes you can filter you mind while writing than talking so it means that you are more sure of the words to express. But I can say that im comfortable at both thus making me an introvert and extrovert at the same time.

In most cases I am much better with typing/writing. The only thing I have a harder time in writing is trying to explain to someone how to do something, like on a computer or use something. Actually, typically with that I have to demonstrate it literally, because I'm better at actually doing something than reading about it or talking about it. So yea, I'd definitely say that writing and typing is my strongest communication.

I can express myself much more easily and comfortably when I type than when I talk, but of course there are times 'when face to faceis the only way to handle things. but I love mylotting and typing and sharing and caring with all my many mylot friends. I am more open to others by typing than I ever would be talking about myself. It is so much easier for me and probably a lot of others as well.

I was asked a similar question while in a group at our college orientation, and I believe the answer I gave there is the same as what I can give here: I am more talkative on myLot than I am on any other website that has places to post discussions and respond to them. I am also more talkative online than I am offline. In the real world, talking to people about almost anything makes me feel uncomfortable. I think it is because online, I have time to think, and it does not seem unnatural. In real life, I cannot avoid topics, especially if someone asks me directly, and I cannot sit there and think as I type, or delete what I have already said.

It really depends on the situation at hand. There are some situations better dealt with face to face, and some by typing/writing. It's always good to remember, though, that when you are dealing with the written word, you lose the advantage of body language and facial expression, so it is much easier to misinterpret something.

Type - I prefer email over phone conversations.

It really depends really on the situation, perhaps I get the chance to express myself clearly when immediately communicating orally but, when you have time to write it all down, you tend to think over your words and then decide on which terms you'd use to express yourself better. One of the things that oral communication is great as well as its weak for is it being immediate unlike communication through typing or writing, you can always look back and edit some of the things that you seem to be unsure of. Maybe if I had time to think over on what I would try to reply orally, I may give a clearly perspective on my opinions but, its not always like that..

I can manage both pretty well, or so i would like to think. There are times where speaking is more appropriate .. and there are times i prefer writing more .. heck there are even times wherei prefer speaking on the phone more than anything else. As far as what am i comfortable doing is concerned .. i guess it doesnt matters to me as long as i know what i am talking/typing about .. which generally also translates into me being smartassed about things. Have a good day ;)

I think that I can express myself equally on all subjects. Typing or writing and even just talking. There are groups of people that make me nervous and feel the need to type or write to them instead of speaking on one on, but well I just don't talk to them anymore. Have a Great day.

I used to be the type, type before I met my husband. After meeting him and especially now after married, I have become the talk type and the type type. But I think nowadays I talk more. Especially if there's a need for confrontation regarding matters.....heee heee heee...face to face better...you can see the other person's face and many time see right through the person...heee heee heee!!!

I find writing easier to express myself, especially as I have a really bad short term memory. I do like to talk face to face but like I say, I sometimes forget what I want to say. I also enjoy writing anyway, so I do it a lot.

I think i am more into typing when it comes communicating in a different language.Because i might be misunderstood and i don't want it to happen.But if native language i am more into talking because i am confident to use it everyday as it is our mode of communication.

Hello zweeb82! Believe it or not, I can express more of myself in typing or writing rather than talking orally. That's my weakness. It's so hard for me to express myself and I am really bad in oral recitation. [i] In school, I am highest in our exams but I rarely raised my hand to participate. I don't know why. Maybe I am just too shy. That's the reason why I am active here in mylot because I enjoyed the freedom to express myself.[/i]

he zweeb82, it is very difficult to be impartial and more so, when the person to be judged is himself/herself. most of us, at least me (if all my friends like to differ) tends to have biased opinion, though may not be consciously, to the better side. trying to be fair, as far as practicable, i am neither very good in talking nor excel in writing. most of the time, lack of mastery of the language makes my expression inflexible and while talking on a very serious subject, the need to answer on the spot makes it difficult to convince the other party. later on many thoughts come to mind which would have resulted in a better one. good day

i think i am more a type/write person rather than talk... but i can do both confidently... it is just that i can put and organise my thoughts better when i type/write them first rather than if i say it straight away face to face to somebody... in most cases, i still prefer to talk face to face rather than type/write because i can see the face expressions of the person whom i am talking to and it is very honest... take care and have a nice day...

I am actually comfortable doing both. But, I've noticed that I get a much better reception when I write than when I talk. Maybe it's because the person can stop and start reading it whenever they want. Or, they don't hear my tone of voice or something. People don't seem to want to listen to me when I talk, but people seem to like reading what I write. I dunno.

Sometimes my mouth gets me in trouble because I don't have much friends or people to talk to, and because of misunderstandings that I try to clear up, but couldn't. I'm not much of a talker, so I mostly keep silent. Also, I keep to myself, and since I can't rely on my family, I don't use my voice much. So I prefer typing or writing. Mostly typing because my fingers says more than my mouth can say. My fingers express what i'm saying way better than my mouth can. It's not that different from talking orally, but it's my main preference. I've been doing it since high school when I had almost no friends and a lot of bullies, harassers and enemies. I couldn't express myself because I mostly internalize my feelings, so I have to type in order to express myself. Sometimes talking and typing get me in trouble because of misunderstandings, but typing lessens that since they said I was autistic and I sometimes try to come up with what i'm saying, but can't do so at that exact spot. But i'd rather take typing over speaking any day.

I'm kinda talk and type person, why? because I'm a call center agent and we do maintain no silence during the call, so I have practiced already multi-tasking, being a multi-tasking person let's your brain works, both side! So you really to more than just one thing in every single of minute in order for you to finish all works that are still waiting to be done! Especially if your a type of person who really make every second very precious!

i express myself better when i write or type it out. that way i can think about what i have to say and make corrections before i actually say it . i found that actually helped my relationship out a little bit too. people understand you better if they read what you have to say rather than you scream it at them.

For me, i feel comfortable when i talk compared to typing and writing. it's because I feel the bond in between when i speak, I tend to express myself more to the listener by having some actions. but as for writing/typing, I would prefer to do this way just to make my friends puzzled of what am i thinking about at all times. And by having that, none of my friends manage to know me better. hahah..
