I have this problem at home. I don't talk much, because I don't think I have much to talk about that interests others. When I say this to my wife (LSR) she says that I don't care about her, and THAT is why I don't talk to her. This is nonsense of course, but trying to get her to see that. Of course I always think that women love to talk more than men, but that may be incorrect. Let's hear from some quiet women!  |

I know what you mean, Ad. Just because I'm quiet, I sometimes think my dear Bride may feel as though I'm ignoring her. The truth is, if I'm reading, writing or watching a movie, I just want to concentrate on what I'm doing instead of having to talk when I really have nothing to say at the time. That may be one reason I detest telephones. All they are is talk, talk, talk. I very seldom pick up a phone. We always leave the ringers off on our phones so nobody can ever call us. If anyone wants us, they can email us and we'll get back to them if need be. I guess we just aren't all that social for the most part. Even if the phones were on, nobody could get through because the computer is always on. I just don't see the point in yapping on incessantly. |

I like to talk sometimes and then I like my alone, quiet time too. Sometimes talking annoys me and sometimes I just can't shut up. Sometimes the sound of a voice makes me want to hurl. What irritates me more than anything is annoying, repetitive questions i.e. what you said above, AS. It happens on the phone sometimes....uhhh what are you doing....so what's up....so how are things...uuuhhhh so what's on the agenda....you know....if you have nothing to say then why even speak? Wouldn't Hi and Bye be sufficient?  |

I thought about this and I realized that I'm a talker but only when someone else is interested in talking and then I talk back with them and I could talk for hours. In other words it doesn't take much to get me going. However, I don't feel the NEED to converse. Living with a guy who has his moods of none communication *smiles at SW* I tend to get a little upset when he's short with answers. (like your flatmate) but that is because I take the silence personally, as if I had done something wrong. *hugs*  |

Hello Agent Smith. I can go four hours and hours without saying a word. Of course, I will speak when spoken to. But then I'll shut-up again, just as abruptly..lol...Of course, don't get me started on something that I really love, cause then I can't shut-up. I hate telephones also. I read a quote once: "I've never gotten good news over a telephone. That's why I don't own one."...LOL..Write on....  |

Maybe he thought you were mad at him...I do talk alot but only to certain people. They have never complained but I know that it can get annoying because my husband feels the need to fill me in on every single detail of what happened at work and I do not mind listening to him but I do not want to hear it all night. But I too think that talking is something women do beter then men.  |

I'm not a big talker..I don't think I'm all that shy, but I don't run at the mouth unless I'm with a really close friend. I've noticed some people can't stand silence and have to fill it up no matter what..I have a new neighbor who is a big talker. I have to stand at the bus stop with her and usually end up getting trapped by her running mouth for up to 15 minutes after the kids are on the bus as she prattles on and on and on. I notice when I do try to say something, that is the time she chooses to chase after her 2 year old who has been playing in the road the whole time HER mouth was running..  |

Here at USM I tend to be quiet, some people can "get me going" (good/bad, for the most part good) I read more posts than reply. Like at work, I go there to make money - not friends. Heck, if I do make a friend GREAT, but when I filled out that app it wasnt for the friendships. I am a VERY friendly person, but I too like my space. I know how it is to ask someone how things are and I get a STORY back in return. I really like that particular person, but sometimes I JUST DONT WANT TO HEAR IT. So, I guess, selfishly...I dont ask. Good post, I will shut up now! LOL  |

Although I appear somewhat outgoing online, I actually talk very little in school. In fact, I pretty much got ganged up on in junior high school and was forced to scream. Ugh. Unpleasant memories. In school, it's surprising if I even say a few sentances; I just don't like talking. But here online, I feel that I can open up more and be myself, whereas in school, I'm afraid that someone's going to rip on me if I open my mouth. That's what I learned in the Catholic School "ugh"; keep your mouth shut. And that's what I do quite well, for I got ridiculed and teased and crap every single day in that dreadful place. I could go into more detail of my ordeal, but I'm not going to ramble. People still think I barely talk.  |

No, I'm sure I can log on at karma and sixguns house and then for at least one day after I get home, MAYBE even two, before were off to Nevada. Lordy knows, as plans change and we may leave the day I get off the plane, or we may not leave until a WEEK after I get off the plane. One never knows with my husband, after being with him for all these years, I"VE learned to be READY at the spur of the moment. So have the children, I mean like one day he came home and said, were moving to Utah tomorrow. WEll OK THEN, I start mentally clicking off the list, have lights, phone, water, trash disconnected. Go to bank, close out bank account. Go to the school get school records, PLUS pack and be ready by the next day. LOL, Oh well the man can pack and put more stuff in one truck that I could on my best days. AND the only reason I'm telling you all of this is so that YOU dont forget who the MOUTH of the SOUTH is.

I don't have a problem, since I live alone in a cabin in the backwoods. It's quiet; I can jack up my stereo late at night. Suspicious smoke smells dissapate before they reach the nostrils of my nearest neighbors......and Majic mushies grow in abundance in the forest that surrounds me. Wooo hooo!  |

LOL Egan. Just last Friday I had two ladies at work go to my boss and complain that i dont talk to them so they think I must not like them. Well I did before (like them), but they are learning how to make me not. Great post.  |
