when do you have enough of chatting

[Kikaito plush]

we all know chatting with people is great, but after awhile you want to leave or them to go if they are visiting.

my question is how long does it take for you to get bored ?
for me it's after an hour.

 

[Overlord Drakow]

It depends on the person. Some people like my old room mate, I could chat with hours on end without bother. Other people I try to escape from as soon as possible.

 

[Ephemeral Euphoria]

Usually for about half an hour with pretty much anyone as I start to lose interest by then. I drop the conversation and begin to focus on another thing almost instantly if I have something else to do at the time but I'll still listen to someone if they're talking to me, I just won't give much of a damn that's all.

 

[Oryx]

If it's online I can talk forever because I can do so many other things at once and not get bored with the conversation, as long as we have something to talk about.

In person I don't get bored so much as I get uncomfortable. I can only take so much social irl before I get nervous and awkward and don't really want to talk anymore haha.

 

[Dreg]

I would very rarely get bored, if it is a discussion that I'm interested in. If it's not, probably about half an hour.

 

[Saryka]

Never. I love talking, especially if I'm discussing something I'm interested in. If that's the case, I could go on for hours.

 

[Cello]

I like talking to people, anybody at that matter, but I get burned out really quickly unless i'm helping somebody out, in which case i'll gladly talk until I can talk no more.

I personally think i'm more of a listener than a talker. People tend to lay out all their problems to me, which I don't mind, but I never really seem to get much time to have a say. x]
I have no problem listening until however long i'm needed to, but I can't guarantee I wont phase in and out of the conversation.

It depends on the conversation. If it's something I'm interested in, I'll keep going. When I'm not interested in it anymore, I'll stop.

Usually (at least offline), I can sit silently with someone and still enjoy my time simply having their company. I don't think everyone's as fortunate to have that ability, though (at least not with most people - compared to some people being content with silence in company of a loved one, for instance).

It really depends on the person for me. Some people are just uninteresting and hard to sustain a conversation with because they're not so talkative, and I don't like talking when all they do is listen for an hour. If there's someone who's about as talkative as me, or more, then I could probably go on for quite a while.

 

[Shiny Celebi]

It depends for me. If the person dosent have anything interesting to talk about, I get tired of chatting quickly. This can be kind of difficult to deal with. Im also not really a big talker which dosent really help.

 

[Karma Police]

Welllllll I don't get bored of chatting. Maybe the conversation gets a bit awkward for me, but never boring. No matter how crappy it may be. d:

 

[Lawrenсe]

In person, I don't have a problem talking to someone who actually bothers talking to me or is genuinely interested in what I have to say. Online conversations tend to get vexing for me. I cannot perpetuate a dialogue for more than a few minutes.

 

[Shining Raichu]

I'm terrible at coming up with conversation, so I really depend on the other person to have things to talk about. I try to engage in the conversation, so if they are expert and know what they're doing, I'm happy to talk for as long as they want. I rarely get bored of conversation, it's just a matter of whether it's sustainable lol

How long does it take to get bored? Like five minutes. Even less.

But how long can I stand the presence of other people? I dunno. Usually pretty long. If they are in my house, I generally want them to leave before I get ready to go to bed. But it depends on the company. If I hate them I want them to leave immediately.

My favourite type of company chatting though is on things like MSN, where you can talk for a long time and do stuff at the same time, and it's not rude to ignore the person. You don't have to reply immediately. If you have a question you want to ask or something you want to discuss, go right ahead. When it's over, it's over. You can still do what you want. Nobody feels awkward, nothing is forced.

Usually (at least offline), I can sit silently with someone and still enjoy my time simply having their company.

Uuum, I wasn't sure how to explain that myself, but Nick said it well, I can do the same thing. I used to have a girl friend that I was really close with, and we could just sit in silence and draw for long amounts of time.

Besides that, online I can talk for hours, but IRL it's more rare for me to talk a whole lot. Granted, I managed for the whole three days that my friends and I were at Naka Kon, but that.. was Naka Kon and not just typical, crazy hanging out that I get tired of easily. xD; It also depends on my mood, if it's bad I don't bother talking to anyone in either place, don't answer my phone, don't sign on MSN, etc.

In general, I get bursts of energy for the first 20-30 minutes, then I calm down and sometimes stop replying to IMs, or go quiet IRL.

Depends on the person. If it's a crush or a close friend, I can last for weeks if I wanted to. However, that's rarely, and that's only three people. If they're not what I just mentioned, then I simply put their chat at a lower priority...although, I never get bored with any person at all, no matter the situation...although that's just who I am.
