talking to new people

are you listener or an talker?

me i think an little bit of both then run out of things to say then i become the listener

I am both also, I am a good listener I have found in the 27 years I have been hairdressing, I am sometimes a councillor aswell!  
I do hear some things but am very discreet. I can also talk for England! 

i can talk but i'm more like an league 2 talker  not an premiership talker   i'm an great listener  

Its a great gift of being a listener, these people who talk over you when you are talking do my nut in  

I've put both, but I'm not a great talker (ok, shut up laughing you lot!) and I usually end up listening!

I put both, I've learnt to listen first rather well, I can talk for England though, not that you would know

i can talk but when i talk to someone i dont know i start talking rubbish

Well that's ok its not like you have to see them again!!  

 i dont like making an fool of myself   

Both!

I have made a fool of myself on many occasion, I remember once being introduced to a friend of my ex husbands. He was over from New Zealand, we were in a pub (nothing new there!)
On the introduction whilst shaking my hand, I sneezed and farted at the same time!!! OMG I just wanted to disappear   

     did it smell

We have a name for the sneeze/fart   which molly does quite often   after the initial giggles
We've name it the "I've just snarted"

So glad I can put a name to it now Dolly thanks, I well and truly "Snarted!"  

That really cheered me up reading through this thread     

I guess I am more of a listener really unless the person is talking rubbish then i become a talker  

We have 2 ears and 1 mouth, I try to use them in those proportions  

Glad my "Snarting" story cheered you up Kathy.   

I'm a talker, i've never been shy but you end up talking the * of everyone in my job

Both although slightly leaning more towards listener

For a good interaction between the two of you, both need to talk and listen as the occasion and the conversation indicates.

I can't stand people who BLAAAAH (and it's usually about themselves or some obsession of theirs) without letting me get a word in edgewise.

Almost as hard to bear are those people who "listen" but don't respond; maybe they're shy (forgiveable but hard work) or they're not interested (make excuses and leave).

"Talking" is a two-way street.

Both, it's nice to be the person who people feel they can offload to and equally nice to offload or just gossip with others.
