Do you listen or wait for your turn to speak?

I try to wait for my turn to speak. I was brought up to be patient and polite. But when I was in my late teens I realized that sometimes if I don't butt in no one would listen to me at all. Even if your polite and quiet you deserve to have your opinion heard.

Knowing what to say and when to say it.  It's all about timing.

Well, I wait a few moments to listen and figure how great their grasp on my language really is.  Appearances may deceive.\nYes, I'll speak slower (since I go fast easily) and more deliberate, and definitely use proper English (no slang, sometimes no contractions, and generic terms).  \nI might ask them to teach me something from their language (thank you, or hello, or some blessing).\nSounds like your husband provides a little entertainment!

I'm afraid, Rick, most of us just wait for the other person's mouth to quit moving so we can say what we want.  It's a human failing.  There are very few really good listeners.  It's a real art.

Well.. disguise your voice like a chick and join in on the conversation. You'll be there for a while anyway, so what the heck?

I think you should just wait. . . and wait  . . . and wait until they have a reaction.

I am a listener.  I love to learn about people and the less you speak the more they open up (usually).  Also, if you just repeat the last few words they said before there was a pause, it provokes them to keep speaking.  I love listening, you can pick up so much more and it makes people feel good that you are listening to them.  I find that people LOVE to talk about themself.  \n\nDon't get me wrong, I can hold my end on talking and some days I do my fair share but most of the time I listen.\n\nAlso, here are 17 more answers for you (you were voted best answer):  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhE22LTlU.wWsn28PFqBJa7sy6IX?qid=1006021005504
