are you more of a speaker or a listener?

Hi, I am talker. I am a talkative person. I don't hesitate in talking. But I also like to listen others opinions. I am comfortable in talking. Because of talkative nature I have many friends and I can make a stranger to talk with me.

I am more comfortable listening to the other person talking because I feel it is more polite to listen and then when it seems appropriate, to talk and share my thoughts.

Personally, I am more the listener unless I feel I have something I am compassionate about I need to share and talk about. But when asked how I am doing, or needing to express some concerns I do talk and hope the person I am talking with is taking time to listen and help me.

I have always been the type that listens most of the time. i can be boring to be with at times i guess because i am not like others who have a lot of things to share, to say and to basically just keep on talking. I know there are those that sre have a lot to say... and that there are a lot of other people who have a lot of stories, and they are the life of every gathering.. i am more of the type that listens, laughs with and shares something but never really is the one that would get the "party going".

I definitely tend to be the kind of person that is definitely more of a listener than a speaker. The reason that I assume this role in conversations most the time is because of the fact that I feel like if you take the time to really listen to other people then you are more likely to learn than if you are the person that is always doing all of the talking. However, there are times when I do end up being the speaker in a conversation as well.

I am more of a listener. But when friends come to me for advice, I do give them something that I hope will help them a lot.

In most cases I am more of a listener when being with colleagues and friends, but not when I am teaching in class. When being with my friends, I listen to them till I think that it is time when I express what I think to make the conversation go on, but if the speaker is talkative, I will just keep listening.

hello,lady,i always like reading your posts ^^ In regards to this question,before i was more of a speaker than listener,i'm very talkative,but nowadays, i try to learn to be a good listener because the people around me they need a listener much more than a speaker,like my co-workers,everyday,they have so many things to share to us.And i found it's actually not that bad to be a listener,sometimes even better than to be a speaker. But in general,we should find a middle ground between them.

Well, I think if my part is one who speaks or a listener, I can tell you that it depends on the circumstances in which I find myself. Usually when I am with people I do not know I listen and speak little. However, with close friends and family, I also believe I'm a big talker, especially with my mother. However I think it is right to be a middle ground between the two. Obviously, however, when it comes to all of us must say things that make sense. I say this because many people speak out of turn, without calling first function in their brain! This is not a pleasant thing!

i am a listener i think. i am patient enough to listen a speaker and then when they finish their talk, i may give out my opinion. Sometime i am a speaker also, especially in a discussion.

I always trey to listen to a a persons all the way through first because I hate being interrupted so i try to give the same respect that I would want. I happen to have a friend that always interrupts and shes usually wrong about whatever I was going to talk about so I dont want to fall into that habit...One of my favorite sayings is "Give your ears the same opportunity tat you give your mouth"

Both, I am both of a speaker and a listener. There are times that I only listens and don't say anything co'z I know its better to just listen and would not say anything. There are times that I also speak and speak specially with mom-in-law co's I don't want to listen anymore with her whines.

I am of a listener than a speaker, i also do a lot of reading than writing online. I find it really hard to fully express myself sometimes i even run short of words.

There is on choose in it anyway we have to perform both two roles,the person who is starting the group discussion or some others will score more points because of his experience and knowledge in that topic,so he can start with full confident.others will listen to him and catch some of his points and they start to talk related to that topic. good listening skill is needed to be speaker in my point of view. I'm a good listener. listener can gain more knowledge than an speaker

i would like to believe that i am a listener as much as a speaker. i am always keen to know and understand other cultures. and i show this by rendering my attention to the speakers. listening is one way of reaching out to others and expanding our understanding. i love to listen to people and nature. i feel one with them when i do.

I'm a talker.. always have been.

I am a listener. I barely ever talk, I am always the one listening to other people and their problems. Which I don't mind because I talk when there is something important to say. I am not one of those people that talk all the time just to be heard. People listen when I do talk because usually I talk when it's something that is important.

I am more comfortable in listening so I am a listener. I leave the speaker part on my talkative friends. I am kinda silent type person and I am not that comfortable sharing stories.

I will listen till the very end then I will voice what i have to say and I always try to be fair in the words that i wish to speak

I would say I am a good listener and not a speaker. I don't like to be in a hot spot that is. I am so conscious which leads me to not have that confidence to speak in front of everybody. I dont feel comfortable being a speaker. I dont know why but its just me. Its just kind of like, I'm a good follower and not a leader ^_^
