    I was very talkative and I used to be comfortable talking in ease with everyone but now I have become quieter in real life and noticed it’s benefits.

    pros:

    I am not disturbed unnecessarily.
    I save a lot of mental energy.
    When I talk, people listen.
    I have more time to do things I love.

    Cons:

    I may not be a lot of fun for people to be around.
    I don’t get to socialize often (but for me it’s more of an hazel to socialize so it’s okay)
    I don’t have too many friends(which is also okay for someone like me but could differ for others).Nowadays,am only talkative with people who am close with.


    I feel if a person is talkative, he or she needs to be mentally strong as well.People can really cross their boundaries with them and
    More drama in life involved.For more sensitive people,it’s a headache when you are talkative.

    Pros of being talkative: You have a lot of network and one can get timely help.

    How about you?Are you talkative or quiet?

    I am a quiet and introvert person. Cannot make friends easily.
    When we must moved to USA, my husband used to push me to make friends with Indians living in our apartment. I used to get angry at him.
    Slowly I changed and became more social.
    Both has its own pros and cons.
    Talkative people have to be careful when they speak about their personal relationships and stuff.
    Talkative people tend to be more happy and adjust easily in any country.
    Quiter people tend to have more focus on whatever activities they do.

    I used to be very talkative, speaking my heart out until I was exhausted at the sound of my own voice. Because of that tendency I fed a lot of information to people, some of whom turned words said against me, judged me, used that information for their own selfish needs at my cost .. basically by being talkative, I made myself available to be punched if one chooses. For a long time, I thought people weren't trustworthy. Later, I realised I was talkative and needed change. Much talking is the cause of danger. I learnt being silent and stopped being chatty.

    Life is so very peaceful now.

    True.

    Even when I first came to US,my hubby used to force me to make friends and keep in touch.It was beyond my nature but I tried and unfortunately back fired coz I maintained relationships with people who are not good for my mental health.We were poles apart.

    But no regrets as we learn only through our mistakes:)

    I 100 percent vouch for this!

    Ditto here! Like a nut,I used to be over friendly and blurt out everything innocently.People took advantage and also took me for granted.I was also very dependent on others emotionally.

    But being silent is amazing!

    I dont know how to put it across, i am talkative with mt group and try to limit my talks withe others, simply because I don't want new friends, fake talks, and show offs..
    I love to talk and to to stay silent. I love to listen and to be listened to.
    Hugs

    I am quiet and reserved. I only talk freely with people I know really well. My closest friends are still mostly my childhood friends from school and my college classmates. I do have good friends I have made over the years but I’m happiest curled up with a book.

    I am very very talkative person. I get along well with everyone and I make friends easily, I love meeting new people, making new friends. DH and my friends call me a magnet. Though I am friendly and talkative I don't share my personal things or very very limited I share.
