I am happy to talk with you. VS. I am happy, talking with you.

I am happy to talk with you. VS. I am happy, talking with you.

I have learned that to talk with you is a cause of being happy, and then do not you think that talking with you is also a cause of being happy or is there an meaning difference between them? I hope to hear from you again and have a good day.

Thank you.
