I've had to completely drop a few friends because they were such incessant talkers. That's very hard to take. Occasionally there'll be guys who're the same way, but I see it more among females.

I think its annoying. Why can't you just shut up for a few seconds? just enjoy the silence.

â??Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.â?�

And yes I am the quiet one unless I feel like I need to express myself or I'm asked a question other wise its silence from me.

I forgot I even did this thread this morning..but cool with the responses...I love silence between two people..just being with each other and with no need to talk, maybe just a smile:)
Sometimes there is just a time to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

The hardest thing for me about this question is I am often not thinking anything at all. Then I have to figure out what to say.

That starts a vicious cycle of thinking of what I should say. It is a no win situation for those of us who do not think much.

well its kinda like a catch 22 . . . .

because you could just say nothing if you want to, but those who have something to say will say nothing with a straight face and flat out lying to them. Its tough because its one of those things that could make or break a friendship or more or nothing all ..

That is usually me too..I like thinking about nothing..or just thinking about things that are about nothing..they are just entertaining fillers..plus I am usually so stoned..the weed wipes any thoughts i had straight clean out of my head.

I'd just say "thinking...... you mean one of those headaches with pictures?"

Lets see....I"m thinking....lets see "what am I thinking?".."I better think of something fast"..."ya know, your hair looks very pretty today'

My typical response is:

I was thinking about the status and role of quantitative methods in psychology: past, present and future perspectives. what about you?

Ive yet to have a response other then, "nothing really."

actually, My wife has told me to shut the fuck up already before as I went deeper into quantitative methods of psychology.

Damn dude, psychology is fascinating stuff! This is why anybody I date (assuming that ever happens) must to be intelligent. I don't want to blather on about celebs, doritos, television and the new seat covers she got for her Jeta. Give me biology, medicine, physics, politics, philosophy, psychology, and the occasional planning for the zombie appocalypse! (well, the last one is just what I do with friends:jointsmile:)

hahaha.......your wife sounds funny.............I always answer that question strait and apropriate to the situation, but that answer has come up a couple times, at least. I tell people to shut the fuk up too, special when they get all ranty and run around the answer to their mouth opening in the first place.
