how do you communicate?

what's your favorite/most often used form of communication?

most liked setting?

it's probably text messaging in your car because you're a faggot

do you find silences awkward, do you control the direction of conversation, do you just speak in trendy idioms, do you not look people in the eye, or do you start by looking someone in the eye and wander away, or do you hold a stone gaze into your partner's eyes

i like 1 on 1 conversations, take insanely long pauses to reply if i care about what i'm saying/you.

big fan of writing long elaborate emails

    The phone will always be my communication of choice.

    It's really odd talking to someone I know in real life, over an IM. It's just weird and uncomfortable for some reason.

    Sometimes people don't talk to me, because I am deep in thought and it would not be wise to disturb me.

    I probably communicate best after a couple beers.

    I tend to have a really hard time coherently explaining stories most of the time.

    I generally hate communicating through text, don't mind IM. Much prefer face to face.

    I have to use the phone all the time at work and having a phone ring sets me on edge.

    I talk to people whenever
    in a group, one on one, whatever the situation is

    but talking to people on the phone? hate it
    whenever I talk on the phone it's always a "what do you want situation", or confirming something talked about before, or a quick inquiry as to what's going on. If I want a real, honest conversation I'll meet you in person.

    Or text. For some reason texting sits okay with me.

    I hate talking on the phone. IM is alright, but I tend to judge people harshly based on their IM habits (smileys). In person I can go from extreme extroversion to about as responsive as a toothbrush.

    me too, I flail all over the place.

    in person is always best, and I hate phones so I guess instant messaging gets second place as default

    well!

    that would change things

    I would at least get a tracphone or something cheap-o pre paid unless you have some kind of moral aversion to wireless communication
