Longest conversation you've ever had

Post Reply New Topic

When I was dating my wife to be, we used to talk on the phone for up to three hours or so. But I remember staying silent some on the phone not knowing what to say next. As far as the longest conversation---face to face---with someone I am not close to---that would have to be last Friday. A former student visited our school where I teach. He also liked roller coasters. And we talked for one hour. My whole day seemed filled with conversations. By the end of the day, I was mentally exhausted. I came home, shut myself up in the bathroom, and had a meltdown. It took me some time to return to feeling good.

Hour or two on phone. Looonng call.

on the phone, an hour maybe an hour and a half...but face to face maybe 10 or 20 minutes?

A phone conversation lasted 25 minutes.

The only person i have long conversations with (a couple hours or so) would be my best friend, but that could also be because she is an aspie...lol....i will talk with family and such for longer periods of time as well, but as far as conversations with anyone else, not long at all, and it's usually just small talk initiated by the other person, which i try to get out of as quickly as possible...

how do u keep a conversation going for longer than a minute or two? everytime it just gets all awkward and the conversation ends...

I can participate in a conversation for a while, but if it's only two-way, it's not that long.

I don't hold alot of long conversations.
I talk for an unusually long time on the phone with my friend who I don't get to see too often..but with everyone else..i am in a hurry to get off the phone..I also think I converse more with my friend than with others in person..

..with other people...I mostly interject one-liners...tidbits...circular phrases repeated till I have gotten my point across in my head....stuff like that...

Conversations make me nervous and overwhealmed..but sometimes I can get on a roll and get comfortable in one..

i can talk endlessly about things that interest me. my problem is that i miss the cues we are supposed to adhere to, so i dominate conversations, am highly verbose and articulate and people end up thinking i am a total smarypants pain in the butt. i get misunderstood like that a lot. i am not arrogant but they think i am. i am actually really shy and mixed up about it all.

i am busy talking and yet i can only grasp bits of words and pictures of what the other person says back to me. so most conversations (which i can feign these days) are really just a monologue which switches to internal pictures while the other person is talking. these days i notice when the other person stops talking and then i just take off where i left off and it all makes perfect sense to me, but i am told i can leave others a tad baffled by my mental meanderings. (i have my own internal logic which i find preferable to any externally imposed one.)

I am the aspie who won't shut up. I am the aspie who has excellent verbal skills but doesn't understand the cues very well (althought these have gotten better the last ten years,) and i am the aspie who bumps into someone by the refrigeration section in the supermarket and the other person is stuck there with me for a long long long time and is going blue and i still do not wind up my conversation. i hate it and it embarrasses me, but it is part of who i am and what i am.

And that, my friends, is why i get migraines after social contact. i cannot regulate myself and I get completley exhausted and wiped out because i motor on until i am literally out of steam.

One time me and my boyfriend(at the time) talked through webcam for 5-6 hours I think. On the phone, when Im away from 2 of my friends we will have 1-2 hour conversations quite easily every few days.

Between 5 or 10 minutes. I have social phobia so if I linger too much on a conversation, I clam up and shy away.
