Wordless Wednesday: Talk, talk, talk

Do you ever feel hear like you're talking at people and nobody is listening? How about having a conversation instead?

Hmmmm, sometimes a room full of people could be compared to a bunch of chattering chicks. Sort of blindly blundering in to each other, saying their 2 cents over and over again, hoping someone will listen.

It can be hard to take the time to slooow down and really listen to people. A simple post, but I like it!

When I read the first line I thought of my teen daughter. When I read the next one I realized I should try having a conversation with her instead of the talk, talk, talk that I do with her.

Learn to listen if other people are talking, so that when it's your turn to speak out, they will listen also.

It's feels so bad when you are talking, and nobody is listening.

Of course, the conversation always mean more than monologue...

Sometimes it happens to me during dinner time. Everybody is expressing themselves, once I spit out some words, nobody will listen to me in the kind of situation. Furthermore, I see people always interrupt others' talk during the debate on Quebec's TV program.

Love the picture. It reminds me of a recent 'discussion' with my spouse. There are occasions when he cannot get a word in edgewise do to my ceaseless chirping!

Yes I have had this problem with people. But probably not close to the amount of times they have had it with me.

sometimes talk is better than conversation and sometimes its the other way round. but seriously, one does feel like a parrot. talk talk talk but no one listens.

what an adorable picture. it reminds me of when my mother talks. If you are hogging a conversation with her she will start saying "my old goose " to everything you say. she says thats how you can tell if some one is talking at you or really having a conversation. Waylon

Not connected to this post as all, but that duckling reminds me terribly of one little duckling that i saw on the cartoon show Tom and Jerry. The very thought of it makes me smile!

that pic reminds me of tweety from sylvester and tweety cartoon.

Sounds like every day at work to me.

Now this reminds me of one friend that I have who talks endlessly but doesn't make conversation...

I am sure that conversation is not all about talking. Listening is the most important part of any conversation.

[Kentucky Derby Picks]

something it is really depressing and lonely when nobody is listening.

[Rebate Processor Jobs]

I hear you!

[John K]

Haha, i agree that picture reminds me of Tweety. I love Tweety!! :)

Easier said than done. It takes a great deal of awareness and patience to become a good conversationalist. Most of us alas, are not equipped with those two traits. If however one does develop them, the world changes dramatically.

When I meet the kind of situation, I will have no any interest to continue to speak. Silence will be my arm.

Sometimes it is very difficult to convert "talking" into "conversation":( it seems to be an art to be able to attract other people's attention and make them listen to you, and it is of the same difficulty to start not only listening to other people, but "hear" what they are talking about:(((

thank you for your post, will be paying more attention to what my tiny daughter is telling me, as i sometimes am deep in my work and am responding "yes" or "no" automatically... while she needs just a bit of love...

that bird is cutely ugly.sweet.

I like the sound made by ducklings as I'm a fan of Donald Duck since I was 7. ;P

I had 2 cutey ducklings as my pet when I was 12. I reared them for 3 years before I lost them in an accident.
