Is it wrong to talk about traveling, dogs and food with a coworker who told me I talked too much?

Find out what THEY are interested in, and talk about that.

Not wrong exactly but he clearly isn't interested in small talk and doesn't hesitate to say so. Many people in his circumstance would just quietly listen and not say anything. I'd be inclined to not generate conversation going forward unless HE starts something, which he likely won't. Working in silence might be boring, but what can you do.

While your intention was to have general conversation with your co-worker, be open to realizing some people are not going to share your perspective. Some people like to work with minimal noise and chatter, and some people simply do not like what they perceive as small talk, in particular if the topic of conversation holds no interest for them. Ultimately, you decide what is best for you but if you are looking for a reciprocated conversation, you might consider another co-worker.

Simply, you've been talking too much.

There's no need to talk all the time. And you should always give the other person the chance to say something themselves, so ASK them a few questions about what they ARE interested in.

But don't ever chat just for the sake of chatting.

No, but it is wrong to walk into a room, see two people, but only greet one of them. Or to ask a lonely person who can count on one hand the number of times they've ever had sex if you should make love to your demented wife of 40+ years in front of them and make them watch.

Not everyone needs a constant drone to be able to focus. If you've been asked to keep some of your thoughts to yourself you should do it.

I love food, and I love to travel. I don't want to hear an unsolicited monologue about either, especially when mixed with the topic of dogs, which are made disgusting by people who bring them to restaurants and on airplanes

i wouldnt talk to hinn if hes going to be like that, nnaybe you should listen to nnusic when youre working to pass the tinne

It's wrong to fill the space with noise just for the sake of noise. That's a huge pet peeve for many people. Some sex is joining your souls, fully consumed in each other's being, one body and one soul. Other times it's jerking off with somebody else's body. Talking can have a similar dynamic.

What you're doing when you fill the space with words is you are denying someone else of having their own thoughts. He might be thinking about that wonderful summer being young and in love far too many summers ago, an old friend who passed, planning for the future, deciding on what to make for dinner, or better yet being present in the moment tending to these beautiful price rose bushes that people will come from around the world to enjoy, or whatever your outside job is. And you ruin it because you feel like saying "sometimes dogs are brown."

Taking can be a wonderful way to make beautiful, beautiful love. You can be consumed just the same. But when you never shut the **** up, it's like ending! every! sentence! in! an! exclamation! point! Kinda loses it's value.

You need to pay more attention to social cues. If someone is interested in talking with you, they will participate in the conversation. If all you're getting is things like "uh huh", "I see", "that's cool", "wow" and "okay" without the person adding their own stories or asking you questions, they don't give a shiit.

apparently, your incessant talking is not making the time go faster for him. he's not going to be polite and just listen to you ramble all day long. best to learn to shut up and work. you probably have an annoying voice, repeat yourself constantly and laugh at your own jokes.
