I like people who talk alot because I enjoy listening to what they have to say. Also, the more talking they do, the less you have to do. However, for some reason, some people don't like people who talk all the time, and i can't imagine why. As long as they don't talk only about themselves (and they're good listeners) then I don't see what the problem is. To me, they seem like good conversationalists and are the type of people you'd want to hang out with. They're good entertainers who always have something to say. Since some people disagree, I want to know, is it really better to be a person who talks all the time, or not? Thanks

TheAnnie answered Tuesday December 25 2007, 1:07 pm: lol, i talk alot as well. but i mostly talk about other things. i hate like akward pauses where youre not saying anything and rather prefer a conversation. im usually the one that makes my friends smile and cheer them up when they are down.
i would prefer people who talk (not about themselves) about other topics and whats going on. but good listeners are okay too
i think the people that dont like talkitive people are those who only want to be heard. or the kind of people that hate dealing with other peoples problems. [ TheAnnie's advice column | Ask TheAnnie A Question ]
hotpotato answered Sunday December 23 2007, 7:32 pm: I agree! Sometimes perhaps people are just attention-whores and want to talk themselves and are impatiently waiting for the other's person turn to end so they can start or something. Or the topic at hand does not interest them. In groups, it may be that people think talkative people may hog the spotlight too much and it doesn't give a chance for people who don't speak up as much to try to chime in. In the end, I think it is better to talk than not to talk so people know you better. [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]

As long as they DO NOT TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES, I'm perfectly okay with it. But if they ramble on about themselves and their day, that does get annoying.

superstarblue89 answered Monday December 17 2007, 8:29 pm: well I talk all the time...and people seem to like me (not trying to be conceited...it's true lol) but I know that I can sometimes be annoying to people who are a little less social and don't talk a lot...those who are shy seem a bit scared of the fact that I am talkative, but a lot of people who are shy seem standoffish and anti-social to many people...I don't think there is a win win situation.
