Well, personally speaking, I would say that listening is preferable to speaking in discussion. Nowadays, most people just wait for their turn to speak rather than actually paying attention to what others say. Some people are of course more extroverted than others and will converse more, but it is possible to take this too far where it becomes a sign of selfishness and arrogance. I mean what is the point of having a conversation with someone who doesn't care about what you say? I think ultimately if you listen and make an attempt to understand others, then you'll naturally be invited to speak because people will value what you say more. Where I'm from, listening is a sign of wisdom. It shows respect, a humility about yourself and a willingness to learn.
