talking help: Which is better — talking or listening? - Help.com

God gave us 2 ears but only one mouth for a reason :)

Nothing would be accomplished if we all spoke ignorantly, or if we were all just quiet
and looked at each other waiting. balance i guess?

I don’t think one is better than the other.
What’s most important to me is knowing the right time to talk, and the right time to listen.

..A task that gets harder with each drink

you wouldn’t know what to say if you didn’t listen

I always try to seek balance in all I do.It works well for me.

well it depends, its always great to listen to others and try as best you can to help them, but its way to self-destructive to keep your feelings bottled up, so i think its good to talk as well

I think the basic idea is, Listen when someone’s talking, talk when someone’s listening. You need to do both to make a conversation, don’t you?

It’s important to speak out and put your opinions across. If you have problems you need to be able to communicate it to someone. And also, it’s all very well listening to someone elses issues but how are you really going to help them if you don’t open your mouth to give them advice?

I think talking gets a bad reputation because words cause alot of conflict. A word placed wrongly or misinterpreted, or even intentionally cruel words can cause huge arguments even if this is not what the speaker set out to do.

A combination of both is what is best.
