No definitely not

No.

No, I actually think its rude to talk too much and dominate a conversation.

No it isn’t rudeness! We’re all different; quiet, bashful and withdrawn, loud, outspoken and opinionated, and some of us are a little bit of everything; quietly confident, excitable and humorous, humble and empathetic. Choose who you want to spend time with, keep an open mind, and don’t judge a book by its cover…Edited 30-May-24 07:47am

It totally depends on the situation. Are you talking to fill an embarrassing silence? Is someone needing your considered advice? are you just talking because you love your own voice? Are you trying to talk someone out of suicide? Are you being paid to talk? We all need to assess the situation and feel the vibes which will tell us if it is too much or not enough.

God gave us 2 ears, and 1 mouth, so that we can listen more, and talk less. He asks us to be Humble. There are many verses in the Bible book of Proverbs that mention how God feels about our speech, and the use of our tongue. That being said, be quick to listen, and slow to speak. It is not rude to not talk much. It's more rude to talk too much! ;-D

speak when you are spoken to

My motto is speak when spoken to but don't hold the floor.

Not really, especially if you really don't know what to say or not familiar with the topic at hand. Sometimes silence is the answer.

It will depend on your 'personal traits' are you EXTROVERT or INTROVERT....also your culture will determine HOW you respond in the scenario you described.... furthermore, other factors could come into PLAY!

It all depends on the info given or received.

Personally, I would rather have someone silently compile their thoughts and share them for me to ponder as opposed to dealing with someone who talks to hear themselves without offering anything poignant or substantive. Thus, I find it rude when people commandeer the conversation but still say nothing.

I think it is rude to make an effort when someone is trying to converse with you, yes.

It actually depends on your perspective. It's not exactly considered rude not to talk much when sorting though your thoughts about something (i.e. inflation rates, cost of living/housing, homelessness, etc.). If it's something you're comfortable with, then speak up.

Talk when you have something constructive to say. Some individuals speak too much.

I'm my own best sounding board, anyhoo... keeping quiet is okay with me. If I want someone's input, I'll ask for it.

If you are ignoring people then it is rude. if you are just an introvert or shy then it is not rude.

NO ITS NOT RUDE

Be as you are (authentic). Being a good listener is wonderful.

I don't think it is rude not to talk much during a conversation, however I think it is important to show that you are actively listening through using appropriate body language such as nodding, smiling (at appropriate times), and verbal gestures to demonstrate that you are taking in what is being said and have interest in what is coming next.

it is rude when hubby does not answer a question drives me nuts

Some times it's better to keep ones mouth shut and just listen.

SO - SO

It is much better than not being able to shut up!

Depends. If you just sit and ignore the conversation then yes it is rude. You obviously do not want to be there so I think you should leave. Some people are listeners but they are still an active participant.
