I am in sales so I like to talk. I have to be good at listening too and I have to sometimes draw out the "golden silence" to make someone so uncomfortable that they are forced to talk. Kinda a fun thing to do on a work level. As far as personally, when I am not trying to sell, I do like to be very selective of what I say to others. I have plenty to say, but I don't want to ramble on about things to total strangers if they have no clue what interests me, what I am talking about, or if I think I will be wasting their time. It isn't a matter of being shy because I am far from that, I just think other people might not be interested in what I have to say sometimes. I don't know if it has to do with living in the Bay Area my whole life and people rarely stop just to talk and bullshit nowadays. Everyone seems to be so into themselves that they have lost the ability to speak to a total stranger if it doesn't fit into their schedule.
