hello. i am a reserved and quite person. but, i do interact with my friends, just not really that much.

i find that i DO enjoy the moment i'm talking to my friend, but then right after the talk ends, i'll turn into a quiet person.

actually, i don't really like to talk so much, for me it's tiring. but, is that really okay?

i need some view from outsiders as i don't know if this is appropriate response in public. i don't want my friend to feel uncomfortable with me.

thanks.

Im not sure i really understand the problem. If you enjoy conversing with people even though usually you're quite reserved - thats fine. You can't chat all the time and besides not everyone likes talking a lot - or being talked too a lot! If people like you and enjoy conversations with you im sure they will be alright with you not being as chatty as others - maybe explain to those closest to you that you've always been this way and that they shouldn't be offended by it. Im sorry if ive misinterpreted the question. All the best.

It is okay to find conversations tiring, but sometimes one needs to be honest with one's friends... if you're tired, you can just tell them?

I was just talking about this. Do you feel okay to be quiet? Do you feel like you're missing something when you are?

I'm not sure what the right balance really feels like, but I"m positive that everyone has different social needs.

The older I get, the less I like to "chat." When I'm out in public and someone stops me on the street, I don't particularly like to stand there and talk, usually cause I'm on my somewhere. And where I live is ALWAYS windy for some reason, and I hate getting blown to bits. LOL Talking on the phone is a real pain to me. I have a very chatty friend who calls several times a week -- can you believe that? I don't have anything to say that many times a week! LOL But she keeps calling -- guess she likes the sound of her own voice.

It's okay to be quiet. If your friends don't mind, it must be okay! Don't worry about it my friend. You're just fine just the way you are. Take care & God bless. Hugs, Lee
