Well i do find this quite annoying. I'm more of a listening person and most of my friends are the talking person. So Whenever i try to speak the other person always starts their own conversation it really does annoy me. If i listen to people when they are talking, why cant they do that in return?! It's like as if they don't realise but if i do that i always realise my self doing it so i am sure they do too!! So what kind of person are you, the listening or the talking?

I am a listening person and I found a lot more people tend to be talking people and its hard sometimes to get a few words in. The art to conversation is to let each person have there turn speaking.

Well, I'm more of a listener. I find that most people like to talk, and the more they talk, the more they reveal themselves. It could be quite interesting though. The only thing that irritates me is that when they ask me for input/advice/opinions, after I have told them, they go on as if they haven't heard a word I said. I mean, why ask for feedback/advice if they are not going to listen? I suppose they just love to hear the sound of their voices!

The same thing applies for me as well. I am more of a listening person and am known for that because I am so quite. However, I can barely talk now, because people expect me to be quiet.
