Constantly talking isn’t necessarily communicating.

The remark distinguishes sheer verbal output from genuine connection. “Talking constantly” can be noise—habit, performance, anxiety, or dominance—without conveying meaning, listening, or mutual understanding. By contrast, communication implies intention, clarity, and receptivity: choosing words that fit the situation, attending to the other person’s response, and allowing silence when it carries more truth than chatter. The line also critiques modern social life, where continuous commentary (in conversation or media) can substitute for empathy and comprehension. Its significance lies in reframing communication as a two-way act grounded in attention and understanding, not simply the quantity of speech.
