Do you prefer to be around someone who talks a lot or someone who talks very little?

I like to be left alone. It's annoying to have to listen to a motor mouth that can't shut up because they need attention.

The drunken neighbors just keep talking louder and all night long. 10pm - 4 am

I like a bit of conversation, but you don't have to talk my ear off either. 😄

what about someone who echoes what you last said in a questioning tone?

Someone who is more outgoing. Shyness can make things awkward.

I prefer a person who talks just the right amount, of course. 8^) But between the extremes of too much and too little I'll take too little.

I know people who are very uncomfortable with long silences, so they have to just fill the air with chatter. I find them very annoying and tiresome, especially if I'm working or trying to concentrate on something. If someone doesn't talk enough, I can usually get something out of them by asking. So I'd prefer that.

Either are fine. And none can resist my charms. I can get you to talk.

I prefer someone who speaks up when necessary.

its never about the quantity of words its about the quality of merit in those words

Someone is somewhere between those two.
