Being too sociable

Is there such a thing as being too sociable?

I just wanna talk non stop. If i had my way i'd be chatting to people 24/7. I think i'm starting to get on peoples nerves though, but i feel really down if i spend time by myself and theres no one to talk to.

Surely theres nothing wrong with wanting to spend time with people? And no i'm not clingy like. I don't force people to talk to me, or be with me. I just don't shut up :hyper:

I just need like hundreds of friends so i can only bore them slightly then move on :chin:
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    I'm like you. I like to talk lots. I ring my friends alot and can talk for Britain. They actually have to tell me to get off the phone because if I had my way, I'd be talking all day :lol:

    Theres nothing wrong with wanting to socialise in my opinion.

    I just like talking! Lol.

    It all depends on what you speak about.

    If you talk about yourself all the time then people will get bored really easily, whereas if you ask people about themselves or speak about random stuff then they won't.

    Lol i don't go on about myself. I just mean general conversation. I think i could talk about any subject for a decent amount of time. I just don't shut up.

    i cant understand this. what can you talk about all day? is it a bit like thinking aloud?

    i find that i need quiet time. personal time, for when i dont have to entertain/chat to people. dont you?

    and yeah, if anyone talks about themselves all the time its well annoying.

    Do you ever feel you need your quiet time?

    I always need about half an hour a day just to chill out and put tunes on or something, otherwise I'd go mad.

    I need lots of quiet time but when I am around people, I talk alot.

    I can see what she means. I don't think theres anything wrong with it Lacy. You are just sociable. Its hardly a bad characteristic.

    I'm the same. I can be alone, and I can be quiet if I need to, but it's rare I want to. I get bored!

    I don't think you can be TOO sociable, people I've met have always commented on it as being a good quality of mine :)

    I wish I was like that! I'm far too into my own company. I never know what to say in social situation, so I usually stay quiet, or like people have said, talk about my self - it's the only thing I know about really.

    Think yourself lucky, I'd love to be chatty and sociable.

    I need constantly people around me. Sometimes it's enough, when I know there is someone there like my parents of my sister, and even if it's just a few words. Could hardly imagine living alone on my own yet, I just can't be all the time alone.

    When going out I prefer having more people around me. OFten times go out in three-, four-, five-, sixsome... It doesn't even matter much WHERE we are going then, the best evenings are the ones when you are in good company and in my case preferably a lot of people of both sexes to talk to, or whatever.

    I don't need quiet time as in total isolation. My quiet time is by daytime, or when I'm having a few errands to do in the city. Most of the time I have a book with me, when going by train, but I hardly read, because I use that time to think about stuff. When I'm in my room doing whatever, (when my mum is not constantly nagging, that is ;p ).

    There's no such thing as being "too sociable", providing that you're not a) talking only about yourself or b) imposing yourself on people who just want a quiet night.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Like Kermit said, you can't be too sociable BUT you might not be being sociable.

    As long as you listen to other people (and give them ample opportunity to get a word in edge ways), talk about them not just about yourself or things that interest you and don't impose on them when they want quiet time, then you're probably being sociable so all is good.

    You can never talk too much, but you can listen too little.

    Or not listen at all. As I've found. As long as your having an conversation and its not too one-sided you'll be okay.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Nah no such thing. I love the company of my mates and even strangers if they're sound. Though on yer own, then it's alright cos you can listen to music or some shit.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Hi Lacy I'm a bit like that I chat too much...probably drive my mates mad and all the people at work too. But just be yourself, it's better than sitting there in silence and being bored!

    I love chatty people.
