Or is it just me. Like you visit some person who talk about stuff you have no interest in hearing and it can go on for hour. No games, stuff to do or anything?.

I have a pretty solid social circle of people I love talking about stuff with. Honestly I can talk about anything, except gossip. I mean think ot it TC, you are basically on a board where you talk to strangers lol

I'm the strong silent type of guy who can't stay to talk less then 30 minutes. I value my time and if the conversation doesn't interest me, I need to leave.

@davillain-: Yeah me too. I mean i am ok if its to greet etc for few min atleast. But if i have to sit with a random person and talk goes on about nothing i care about, yeah it just is no. I mean its different with family who sit around table and talk but like with two on two, like it just kills it for me

reminds me of my grandfather. He would only really talk on a drive if one other person was in the car. My mother made the same claim so it wasnt just me

@tryit: @rogn: Texting is really something I can stay longer by doing so, but talking in a boring conversation isn't something I can put up with.

Text>long discussion talk.

It can be. Gotta find something interesting to talk about then it will feel less awkward.

Depends, common interests or just to be polite?. A female tends to be talkative person, not the same with males unless they were raised that way or are that type of person

Sounds like you have nothing interesting to talk about? There's loads more to life than video games. I love playing them don't get me wrong but some of my friendship circles aren't video game based so we talk about and do other things. I'm massively in to football but my girlfriend isn't, so I never bore her about Jack Grealish's drawn out transfer saga.

I love getting together with mates and chilling in a back garden when the weather is good and have a good catch up.

It depends. Back in school I had great friends and roommates and we'd just drink and talk a lot, about stupid stuff or what we want to do in life and philosophical stuff.

Nowadays people don't really want to talk about politics, what ifs, stuff like that. I don't think people want to come of as intelligent due to a general presence of anti-intellectualism. The irony, of course, is all that stuff is bullshit (politics, what-ifs, philosophy) to begin with and anyone can go "man what if we did this and that with the government instead of that, oh man, WTF that'd be crazy"

It doesn't help that my friends now are all coworkers so when we get together it's either about A.) work, B.) how much they hate work, or C.) how much they hate so-and-so at work. I'm lucky enough to work in a field where people are passionate about their craft but FFS can't we talk about something else other than what we do 40+ hours a week?

Hah. That sounds like me.

Me and one other person: yeah, we will talk. Or not. It's really up to the other person. Me and two or more people? I'll just sit and listen. I don't really enjoy talking.

Which sucks, because I love people, I'm just terrible at interacting with them.

I think the reasons it was that way for my grandfather is because our grandmother could talk a persons ear off.

so if she is not around and if the TV is off, he opened up. which was almost always while in the car...ha!
