Is it hard to be both a good talker and a good listener.

Seems you can only be one or the other. Good listeners never get a chance to talk because they're too busy listening, and when they try they usually get interrupted. Good talkers always have so much to say, and they don't listen because they're too busy thinking of what they're gonna say next

You CAN be both, if you have the chutzpa to get loud once in a while and interrupt the talkers or rudely talk over them. I was too well trained in manners to be able to do that.

I'm very trained, at both. It's an art form.

Balance is important...

It takes practice, I’ve leaned both ways. I try to be mindful when someone speaks, helps me process what they are saying and stops me from formulating a response until they are finished speaking.
