Are you talkative when not on WP?

Post Reply New Topic

Do you (or anyone else) try to say something and then find yourself having to correct what you somehow managed to communicate repeatedly and thus not get very far at all conversation-wise?

Because I am so tired of that.

Depends... With most people, no. With good friends where I'm allowed to be odd, eccentric and pretty loudmouth, god yes.

No. And I haven't been very talkative here either lately. I've been in a very nonverbal "mood" the past few weeks. I don't know what the deal is with that.

Yes, I talk a lot. My nickname in elementary school was "Chatterbox", and last year my Nana told me that I was the most talkative person she's ever met in her life.

I am especially talkative about my special interests or other things pertaining to my life, but I tend to get pretty quiet when there's more than two people around or the conversation is only about small talk.

I hate to say yes, but I got to because people have complained to me about it.

I would have to say it depends on who I'm talking to, and the situation. I sometimes talk over other people, so have to be careful around people I'm not very familiar with.
My wife tells me sometimes I talk too much; then other times she says I don't give her enough "stimulating conversation". I believe she means "small talk" by this. I never was very good at making small talk...

I am quite talkative, even when I'm on WP.

Depends on the situation. Most of the time rarely do I say anything; listening, observing what is going on around me. Sometimes I can be overly talkative about nothing in particular. In the latter case, I think that the excessive talking is just another way to release all the energy I have. It's kind of like stimming, but a bit different.

I'm always talkative....except for the times when I am not, which is rare.

I'm usually extremely quiet. In school people thought I was a mute. Yes, I'm serious. It actually happened. 7th and 8th grade were the worst with that.

It depends on who I'm around.

Yup, I'm a very talkative person...although this doesn't always work out great due to, and right now I get very little opportunity to talk.

Every once in a while I'll come across someone who I can 'click' with verbally. I rent a room right now in a home belonging to one such person. She's in her sixties...and there are times I really suspect she's an undiagnosed Aspie. Anyway, I'm able to verbalize with her pretty often. She has a lot of difficulty visualizing me as having trouble verbally communicating with others, though I tell her I'm mostly non-verbal outside of her home. She's also read some of my school papers and just can't reconcile the 'intelligence' shown via my written work and what I try to impress upon her as my verbal realities.

Also had been like Zen (who states she's less 'talkative' on WP as well as in verbal environments). I've only recently started 'opening up' here... I'm glad for it, glad for the opportunity. When school starts back up full-time, I imagine I won't be able to post as often nor will my posts be as long.

I am talkative with people I'm comfortable with, but less so with others. A lot of people have told me than when they first met me they thought I was a quiet person and then they discovered after they got to know me better that I never shut up! Or with coworkers after we started chatting online they said I seemed like a completely different person (I work with computers and at both this and my previous workplace, a lot of communication was done through chatting for different reasons). When I get going, I've had several friends/family members start making chicken noises or doing that thing with the talking hand when I'm babbling a lot. I "babble" as they put it a lot more when I'm excited or interested in something. Also if there are a lot of people around, I don't talk much then.

However, I'm much more articulate in writing such as on this forum than I am speaking. Speaking is the hardest form of communication for me. If I'm just talking with a friend it's usually okay but when I have to discuss something that is important, etc it gets much harder. Sometimes I just don't make any sense at all, even to myself. Or I find myself talking in circles, sort of refining what I have to say over and over because it seems like the other person isn't getting it (they usually aren't, they just want me to shut up already). Some time ago I started writing things out if it's something important or emotional that I have to convey. It's much easier to order my thoughts in writing and make sure I've covered everything, plus, if I start to repeat myself in writing, I can edit it down and condense it.

I'm a lot more... scatterbrained in real life. But quite talkative around people I like. To the point where I'm told to shut it.

Overall, I'm very quiet in real life. Get me started on certain preferred subjects and that can change very quickly. A lot depends on how comfortable I am with the person or people I am talking to. I do much better one on one, adding even one more person can sometimes make me very quiet.
