At some point, not knowing when to stop talking might get you in trouble. Whether you're in the office, talking with friends, or in class, learning when to be silent is a valuable skill. You'll give others the chance to contribute to the conversation. You might prevent hurt feelings or misunderstandings because you'll become a better listener. Above all, when you do choose to speak, people will be more likely to listen to what you have to say.
