Do you talk constantly, or only when neccessary?

I only talk when I have to. I just did a 10 hour shift and barely spoke a word to my coworkers. I just don't like to make small talk.
 
Not to pigeonhole, but a lot of the guys I work with are into the whole "frat boy" mindset, as they were all into that **** back in the day and basically carried it on to the professional life. I act goofy and what not, but I'm not all about doing that with the coworkers. Hell, if by some chance I go out with them after work I try not to say too much ****, as you know it'll get back to the office somehow.
 
I talk only when I need to; I'm really very reserved.
 
I talk when I need to.....when I like the topic I talk alot.....
 
with mates i tend to talk alot....at work only when i have to...because they all hate me:csad:
 
I only talk when necessary. Even when I'm with my friends I'm very quiet and generally laid back.

I guess it's because I find myself wanting to listen to what people are talking about. Usually if we're debating about films, pop culture, politics, science, music, and literature, then I'm quite vocal about my opinions and adding some information they didn't know about.

But as a whole? I'm generally very quiet and laid back. In essence I'm a loner, I've always been a loner, and while most people find it fun to hang with 10-20 people at gatherings, I'm quite content being around 2-3 or even just being by myself from time to time.
 
i would say that i am like you Terry.
i have to talk at my job so i do when necessary but when people just try and chat with me it kind of gets on my nerves because i'd rather be quiet.
outside of work i would say i do my share of talking but i like to listen to others as well (and sometimes i even talk to myself) but that's a secret between friends, right?

lawl

i do that aswell actualy...but only when i'm alone or i'm fixing something and then it's like "oh, so thats where this bit goes...", which is normal realy:oldrazz:
 
It really depends who I'm talking to. I can be shy sometimes, but if I'm talking passionately about something I could go on for hours.

I do feel undermined by other people who have a much stronger personality to me.

But my girlfriend says I speak waaaay too much. :woot:

I think this is because I feel the most comfortable around her and I can pretty much talk to her about anything, even if it annoys her haha.

see, i do it when i'm watching t.v. mostly.
or sometimes when i'm eating.
like just today i was watching Avatar and they asked if Ang could win against the fire lord and i went off on a rant about why Ang can and will win against the fire nation... then i realized it was on a commercial.:dry:

its random with me. sometimes i dont say a word all night and sometimes im right where the all the mingling is going on. How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? Depends on the tune.
