Listener or Talker?

[Debi]

 

[Soul Edge]

More of a listener, particularly in larger gatherings. If it is a small group then I tend to do my share of talking.

 

[Duke]

Depends on who I'm dealing with and the circumstances.

 

[WitchAndShaman]

I talk big (I’m an educator) but I listen even bigger (again, because I’m an educator).

 

[Charleh]

I mainly just talk if I know what I’m talking about. Otherwise I listen and ask questions

 

[NobleHouse]

Unless I am giving a speech (which seems to be often), I prefer to listen carefully, then comment. I have been told that's why people listen to my counsel.

Active listening, a much under used skill. Too many people are too busy thinking about how they intend to respond than actually listening.

 

[Tia]

Both just depends on the situation

 

[Lynne]

By nature I’m a talker so I have had to work on being a good listener. At this age I’m pretty good with controlling my mouth. However if we get on a fun subject I might have to reel myself in

 

[7Critter]

I am definitely NOT a talker, but am a good listener. A good listener is a skill which I had to learn. Listening shows interest and respect, in my opinion.
