I actually like talking with my family at dinner. I think it's pretty normal here, but you're supposed to talk without food in your mouth.
People yell at me because I don't talk and eat - I talk or I eat. I'm eating and I don't say anything or we're having a conversation then I get "hurry up!"
Btw, you have the completely wrong idea about Korea, the above being the example.
Aha ok.
Oh, and I who really thought that the asians hated conversations during a meal. atleast the japanese.
With my family, we are very laid-back with this.
I really see no problem. How is people talking while eating hurting anyone?
I don't care that much. But if I'm really hungry I prefer not to do it.
My aunt is a psychologist and therefore believes that eating together is a very important part of a family dynamic - which involves talking. Usually about our days, political opinions and so forth. I quite enjoy it, though as someone who is easily annoyed, I can see why some people may not be fond of it.
I'm not a very talkative person, so while I tend to not say much, I quite enjoy when the people around me are talking. I especially enjoy holiday dinners when my both sides of my family get together and everyone has a good time. I'm not one for small talk, so unless I find a conversation to be interesting I generally don't join in, but if there wasn't a mass of conversation around me I feel that dinners would be awkward and far less enjoyable. I like to enjoy myself, not sit in rigid formality. I've eaten at people's houses where everything is silent and totally formal, and I've never gone back.
It irritates me so much when I'm eating with friends or family and it's just complete silence. XD
It's a good chance to chat about things. Just not with your mouth full
So you really don´t get uncomfortable when people speaks with food in mouth? Or if they starts to sound like a whole bloody orchestra?
I tend to stuff my face like a damn caveman while I'm eating, so conversing during a meal is difficult.

I really enjoy the talking I don't talk much when I eat but I find the conversations interesting to listen to as I eat
I don't like people talking to me when they know that I am chewing my food. They even get mad when I don't answer back quick enough.
That's just silly on their behalf.
Unfortunately, it happens especially with my relatives and mom.
Chew slower and make them wait longer, that's what I'd do.
As long as they don't talk and eat the same time, cause that's uh... Growdy. Also, if I don't get a bunch of spit covered food bits onto my face, then it's fine.
I already have a friend that does it all the time. I've learned to cope with it. (Key word being cope. Not tolerate)
As long as they don't talk while they chew or say something disgusting it's fine
I don't do it. I eat alone while I work. Depressing, right?
Don't be so down. Nothing wrong with multi tasking
True. I was just stating that the situation was in fact depressing.
I don't see any problem with it, as long as you're not talking with your mouth full.
Uh if you mean people talking clearly with food around them that they'll occasionally bite into and proceed talking, no...I'm not bothered by that at all. That's just called a conversation. People talking with their mouth full? Yeah, I can see that being a problem with people.
Bruh,the only time I even see my family is lunch time.How do you want me not to talk?
As long as they don't demand an answer right away or expect a deep and fast paced conversation, in a few words, if they don't hinder my eating, I don't see it being a problem. If their half-chewed bites are flying my way, however, that alters the case. DRASTICALLY. Otherwise, I actually enjoy companionship and conversation over a silent meal.
It sounds a little boring not to talk with people if I'm eating with them...
Meh, I think people are allowed to talk whilst eating if they want, I have no right to tell them what to do, even if I prefer the opposite, however, it's not that great if chewed food with saliva touches my face...
Hello everyone, I´m sorry that I acted like a complete bābo (korean for word for idiot) but it was never my intention, it´s a part of my Aspergers diagnose. However, I´m aware that you can not act like that all the life and get forgiven but I´m telling you, sometimes it´s really hard to aviod.
However, I´m still not a fan of people talking during a meal but that´s because of bad experiences with people talking about things you really don´t talk about at the table, like if they´re going to have a visit at the gynecologist or things like that. So it´s because I associate mealtime talking with those kind of things I´m against it.
Finally, could a mod please remove this thread? It feels very pointless.
