I talk the hind leg off a donkey, however, in a personal situation I keep Stum in the hope the problem will go away or resolve itself.

Its very easy for people say problems should be talked out, in reality it takes a lot of guts to do so, there are vulnerabilities and insecurities to overcome, anger management is needed, emotions are rife, etc, etc.

It would probably be better if one person sat in the lounge and the other in the kitchen and send texts to each other explaining how pissed off they are with that person. We all feel safer behind a keyboard and can express ourselves better in type as we have a moment to think about what we want to say.... Just an idea

Hello Solemente, I agree that often given a little time most small problems do tend to resolve themselves. if they don't though, it may be time to talk. I do think both parties must be willing to have the conversation. Otherwise it is a waste of everyone's time.

laugh @ the texting idea.

I'd have to disagree. I think it'd be best if we threw all modern technology out the window and started from scratch.

I'm not big on small-talk. I mean there's only so much we can say about the weather...laugh

I generally "go with the flow"....jump in if I feel I have something to say. Listening is more difficult, because we are all in so much of a hurry to mentally prepare our words of wisdom/wit/humour in response.

....but many a text message I've minsinterpreted because we don't have the visual cues....eg...body language/gestures.

I say, let's get back to basics of communicating, face-to-face. grin

Elegsabiff: I'm a talker. (I know, big surprise). My vote would always be #6 but it does take two, one talking and one listening, and they should take turns.

Do you talk, or shut up and wait for things to sort out? Bottle things up until what comes out is a shout? Make every word count? Quietly walk away?

Do you listen?

Will you talk on this poll for the sake of talking (yes please) wait until you have something worth saying (oh, okay), or just watch until you get bored? (boo)


Talkers are fun to begin with but irritating after a while. Being accessible and broad makes them entertaining, but the same makes them not very stimulating. They're a bit like watching daytime tele.

Reserved people are not as accessible, but they're sometimes like the Bible or deciphering the control panel for a new boiler, very difficult to get into, but once you're in there's so much to explore. They also tend to lead less shambolic personal lives(maybe being less open means you rely on yourself)so I don't know if talking really does solve everything.
