Japanese are too shy? How do I cut in your endless talk?

I used to join the chat site to practice English.
A lot of non-Jpanese people are too talkative, they didn't listen to me at all and they kept talking about theirselves.
On top of that, they told me Japanese people are quite shy and reserved.
Hey! How do we cut in your endless talk?
They like sending their pictures a lot, to be honest, I was not interested in them.
Some of them didn't have girlfriend and they wanted to have a girlfriend.
I thought, “You are self-centered and too talkative so girls hate such an attitude.”
I was tired of them and I quit that.
We value to listen to someone without interuppting them.
We sure have own opinion.
Now I have true some non-Japanese friends and most of them are learning Japanese.
They understand my conversation style and I believe we usually have nice conversation.
私はかつて、英語の練習のためにチャットサイトを使っていた。
たくさんの外国人はそりゃまあ喋りまくるわ、私の話なんて聞いちゃいないし、自分のことばかり話し続けていた。
そして彼らは日本人はシャイで無口だと言っていたっけ。
はぁ?どうやってそのマシンガントークに割り込めっていうわけ?
彼らは大量の写真を送ってくるのが好きで、私はそんなの興味ないっつーの。
彼らは彼女がいないけど彼女を欲しがっていた。
私は「あなたってジコチューで喋りすぎで、女子はそういうのが嫌いなのよ」と思っていた。
ほとほと疲れてそのサイトをやめたっけ。
私たちはまず人の話を聞くことを大事にしてるのよ。
もちろん自分の意見をちゃんと持ってるのよ。
私は今、本当の意味での外国人の友達がいて、ほとんどは日本語学習者だ。
彼らは私を理解してくれていい会話ができていると思う。

I know this might be the culture difference but this was not a speech contest, I was so tired to talk with them.

They were weired and talked dirty words a lot.
Maybe all women who use a chat site must have experienced that.
Thank you for your corrections.
私も話すときの間の取り方が合う人が好き。
機関銃みたいに話す人って、相手も自分のテンポに負けずガーッと話す人を求めてるのかな???
私がいちばんきらいな間の取り方はね、「。」で息継ぎしない人。この後も絶対話が続くってとこで休んで、「。」の後には間髪入れず次の文章を繋ぐ!「私無口な人って・・・・・・嫌いじゃないんだよねだってそう言う人の方が私の話聞いてくれるし私は相手にぃ・・・・・話題を提供してくれることを望んでないしそういう人の方が疲れないっていうかでもねたまには私だって・・・・・」みたいな・・・
どこで相槌を打てばいいのかすらわかりません。^^;
日本人、特に日本人の男とは会話が続かない、退屈でつまらないって言う外国人ってほんと多いのよ。
でもそういうこと言う人ってほんと自分がしゃべりっぱなしじゃんって思うの。
もちろんその逆で喋りっぱなしの日本人もいるんだけどね。(^_^;)

I used to join the a chat site to practice English.
"the" is a definite article. So it implies you are talking about a specific chat site that the reader knows about. However, this sentence is the first time you mentioned the site, so it is better to use, "a".
They like sending their pictures a lot, to be honest, I was not interested in them.
I thought, “You are self-centered and too talkative so and girls hate such an attitude.”
Here "so" means "as a result" or "therefore"; so it is better either to replace "so" with "and", or to change the end of your sentence.
You could say, "You are self-centered and too talkative so girls don't like you."
We value to listening to someone without them interuppting them us.
Now I have some true some non-Japanese friends and most of them are learning Japanese.
They understand my conversation style and I believe we usually have nice conversations.
You could also say, "...we usually have _a_ nice conversation."
In Japanese, this is not bad for these sentences but in English, this may be not good for these sentences.
I have to study the difference about that.
By the way, Please!! give me your comment~~~~!! haha
Thank you for your corrections.
mikaさんには良きネイティブの友人がいてライブで会話ができる環境があるのは素晴らしいことだと思います。
たったひとりだけチャットサイトから続いている欧米人男性がいます。
あまりに喋りっぱなしで私がぶちギレて、「あなたっていっつもそう、私にもしゃべらせろ!」って言ってしまいました。もうこれでサヨナラねって思ったのですが、なんとあちらが反省してくれました。爆
今では彼の超positive thinkingに励まされることもあります。
Thank you for your comment.
then i usually start to talk less when they have something to say.
in japanese i barely talk because i'm still terrible at it. lol.
Everybody likes a nice conversation but they only wanted to ta lk about themselves.
No girlfriends, no close friends...because they are insensitive.
someone told me that when you initially meet someone, they are scared,
Someone means your friend?
The person is kind, we usually can't give an advice.
I think if you try to communicate with someone, it is not bad.
However we might be scared first because we don't know each other.
You shouldn't be silence but talking too much is scary when you meet someone for the first time.
Thank you for your comment.
For me learning Japanese, the same
I need to be careful...as some Japanese
are funny..
There are some weired Japanese guys here?
I can give an advice to you anytime.
