do you prefer to chat, talk on the phone, or talk to someone personally?

I do not socialize much. I am kind of shy and do not interact with people much. But if I do have to talk, I can use any of the mediums available for communication. It really depends on what kind of people I am talking to and the circumstances. I am comfortable in chatting. I hardly use my phone. I mean I do not call people that much. My phone is mostly for answering calls. I use online chat because it is free...

well i think it depends time to time like if u have something to share with ur frnds or girlfrnd or parents...face to face meeting should be done...but let us take the case if u r felling naughty and looking for someone to flirt with do u thinkg being in the front of that girl would be ur choice ..may be she doesnt like ur attitude and starts beating u in public.....would it be great.....so dont u think in this online meeting would be better

i would prefer to talk with the person personally as it seems to be more personal and intimate compare to msn, ym, sms or phone... also, when i talk with the person personally, i can see his/her facial expressions and body languages... thus i can know how he/she is feeling at the moment... while when i talk with somebody by using the technology (internet, phone, etc), i can't tell his/her feelings because i can only hear the voice or read the text... take care and have a nice day...

if i have to confront someone i'd do it personally. on the other hand, i socialize through forum or discussions or social networking sites and personally. i don't like socializing through a phone. i don't like talking on the phone a lot and i learned to hate texting strangers so i don't like unknown textmates anymore. we have to meet first or become friends online.^_^

For me it depends on the person, the conversation, and situation. My close friends live miles away from me, so talking to them personally is a bit difficult. I have gone to visit one for a couple of days, but other then that I don't get to take the personal approach. Its usually phone, (either talking or texting) or internet.

I am not an active person. I like quiet more than talking. But in this society , communication is very useful for everyone. For instance , you must talk with somebody in the work. I usually perfer to talk on the phone. On the phone, the two part will be polite and gentle. Even if you lie , the other people will not know. HaHa. Once i am interested in chating through QQ. But now, i find i have lost this fun.Maybe i am not young.

I suppose it depends on the person and the situation. I honestly really hate talking on the phone. Its almost a phobia I dislike it so much. If someone calls me I try to get off the phone as soon as I can. I love to chat online with people for hours every night. After my kids go to bed thats what I do every night. Its pretty much the only way I get to socialize since I'm a stay at home mom. I do like getting together with friends though but I'm shy sometimes even if I know the people really well and getting together with friends doesnt happen very often. Usually just once a month at a play group.

Like you, it really depends on whom am I going to talk to, there are some people that I know that's easier to talk to in a chatroom or over the phone, or personally. And it also depends on what are we going to talk about. Hehehe. Though usually, I use chat and personal communication.

Talking to someone personally is always the best choice for me. I prefer face to face contact. That way your voice is not misunderstood. Talking on the phone would be second. Chatting should be the third option. It is a little colder and unfeeling.

It actually depends who is there on other side. Some persons are there who to i don’t want to tak personally, they can be sales guy some time and some other people. And some people are also there with enjoy talking personally and i like to be with them most of the time.

As far as I am concerned, I think I am a talktive person ,who usually speak a lot when I am talking with my friend. For me, I think I prefer to talk with someone personly,which I think is a better way to make ourselves understood each other so easily. If I am talking a lot of people around me, I think it will be so difficult for them to understood me so easily.

If the person is just within my reach and somebody close to me like friends or loved ones, I prefer talking personally so i could clearly deliver my message. Sometimes messages through chat appears to be different depending on the recipient's mood. At least, if I could talk straight to the person, we could witness each other's reaction right that moment. Emotions also arise in conversations. But for long distance, well i guess chat or talking over the phone would be practical.

If you and the person you want to talk to are very tight, then it'll be nice to talk to that person personally. It is good to socialize personally because it is easy to depict what's false or not, rather than just being on the phone wherein you just hear his/her voice that you can't even see how he reacts on you. But, if you and that person know each other just recently, then I don't recommend you to talk to that person personally. Well, socializing depends on what is the situation.

It depends on who it is, and what the case was, sometime i would prefer phone if its a homegirl just chatting about nothing, but then if it was a situation to where she really need someone to listen then i would rather talk to the in person so they can see that i understand their problem, because over the phone people have different body language, like if you ask someone are they lying over the phone they might be like no. but in person they can say no but you would see their body language.

I am better at talking through messengers and forums- through text, basically. It allows me to better prepare what I am going to say. I also have a hard time getting my point across, or simply making sense at times. At least through text I can review what I say before I submit it, such as how I do on myLot. I also feel that I can better express myself through text, when in person I come off as a bit awkward and withdrawn.

For me it really all depends on the situation. I like to talk to people via the phone, text and in person. If I just need to ask someone a quick question I'll most likely send them a quick text or an email if I have more than one question. If I miss someone that I cannot see in person (due to distance) and want to talk to them then I'll most likely use the phone in that situation. As far as in person goes - I typically use that for friends and family on a reqular basis!

I prefer to talk to someone personally as I feel to lazy to type every now and then and if the person is quite far so I prefer to talk on the phone whereas texting him every time. My boyfriend is like this too,he prefers to call me five times a day rather than sending me text messages.

I would like to chat because I cant composed words when I am talking in english to other person personally or in the phone. I have difficulty on dealing with that and the best way to make my words good and fluent, I prefer chatting.

hi realbusinesswithyou it depends who will i chat, talk, meet to.. when i still don't know the person i would chat her first, and when we are getting to know each other we could talk to the phone and when we are finally comfortable to each other we could meet and talk personally.. but if you refer to friends of course i would like to talk to them personally because its much meaningful expressing your thoughts through words. have a nice day
