How you deal with somebody who talk, talk and talk, again, and never stop?

I think you must introduce such a person to mylot, they will get rich... I know some people who can talk forever and you can't silence them because the will be offended. I make an effort to look interested but you can only do that for so long. I think the best to then is to excuse yourself saying you have to concentrate on important work or something. Blessings

Hmm, well, I think I've perfected the act of pretending to listen. There are people who are quite self-centered that they like to monopolize conversations. I usually just try to pretend to listen to them by making appropriate comments at appropriate times like "Oh, I see..." or "And then what happened?" I really dislike those types of self-centered people but there's still a part of me that dislikes offending people so that's what I do.

I find it extremely difficult to deal with such people. I meet them quite often. They never think about what the person is thinking or thinking about them. They go on talking for minutes. I have got the best way out! Just keep nodding your head to whatever they say!

yes it's diffficult and i live with one. My husband loves to talk and talk and talk and................and talk. i actually have to pinch him to stop, or gradually walk off a conversation for him to get a clue that he needs to stop. Also his love for talking has made him the master of 7 languages. he can converse in 7 languages , and does not even care if he is wrong here and there.. he will hust go on an d on and on....

I am a chatter box. But not always. When I'm in gang to enjoy... I talk a lot. But I love loneliness and silence at many times. In such times, I'm really bugged by people who talk nonstop. There was a manager on mine who used to call all of us for a meet during the early hours of working. A meet for 10 -15 mins would be healthy. But this will go on for more than an hour and the worst part is the meeting will also not be productive. This will spoil the days work of many resources.

I know exactly what you are talking about! There are some people who just dont seem to be able to let silence exist! There are a couple things that I do with these people. If you engage them in a conversation, it is far less annoying. If you can get them to let you talk to, it will give you some reprieve. The thing I like about this is that you have some control over the conversation. You can help direct it to something that you enjoy. You might also learn something because you arent so frustrated with them! You can say something to them about how much they are talking. Explain to them that you dont mind listening to them sometimes, but you also need some time without them talking to you! Sometimes the best thing you can do is just smile and nod while they talk. Dont give them any input in the conversation. Just sit there and listen. Eventually they will grow bored with it and find someone new to talk to. If those things dont work, I always avoid the person. Sometimes the person just causes your stress level to sky rocket. That isnt worth it. Sometimes you just have to find ways and excuses to go somewhere else or do something else!

I will either ask the person to be quiet, and to please stop talking. I have done that to a friend, asked her to stop talking. If it is on the phone, I feel bad about it, but I would hang up on her. I think I am polite about it saying "Do you ever stop talking?"

there are a few useful ways to deal with such people:- 1) give him something to eat once he starts talking 2) record down what he talks & play on his ears when he sleeps 3) wear earplugs, put a microphone near you with two loud speakers facing front, when he talks he will hear everything back to himself 4) slap him & said that you couldn't control your hand just like he couldn't control his speech 5) encourage him to sing so that he would give up talking good luck in trying the above mentioned methods.:D

hi,icesmile,thank you for marking me best response .have a nice day!

Oh boy, I know this feeling! I used to work in a hen house...these ladies did nothing but yap about their lives, homes, kids...ect. I am not the most social person, but very nice. I really want to make people feel good and appear interested, but it is hard because I usually prefer to be alone. I have this "la la" land that I drift into when people keep talking to me. I will look them in the eye and seem to be totally paying attention. Terrible I know, if it is important, I certainly listen, but about their new curtains...forget it! lol

SIMPLE! Either tell them how you feel and the consequences it may bear OR ignore them!!

i like people, whose talk a lot :) but not too much.. most of my friends are talking a lot and it looks that they never stop.. but i like, they are interesting people have the nice ideas and all the time we have very fun time.. but.. i know people who never stop talking and all the time about theirself and how much is hard to them and etc.... this kind of people make me crazy.. i know it is a hard life most people, but people whose i know they are healthy, have a place where to live, nice families everything it is really good and they should be happy.. but not to say many times per day that it is so hard to them.. it not will be better from that! only you can di it..! or one example..her hair are are very nice, better than other or yesterday she has broken a nail.. i am hearing about it few days.. and many times per day.. when i asked her stop to cry for a nail.. i was so angry on her and i ask her "do you know that you talk too much? i am tired from you.." she starts shout on me that :D few days she did not talks with me.. it was so great! sometimes i tell people stop to talk and leave me alone or sometimes i walk away...

well it depends on what he's/she's talking about, if she talks with sense then that's fine... i have lots of friends like the one you're talking about but it's not a problem for me... i mean these friends of mine just talk and talk and talk but the best thing about them is that they also know how to listen that i don't have to shout at them... i guess that's very important that they listen too... that's not actually a problem if we just know how to handle them, although sometimes we run out of patience...

I usually just nods along every once in a while, whilst singing a tune in my mind

I know someone like that, if he phones me up to tell me something, I can guarantee that he'll ramble on for a an hour or more in the process of telling me something that could be said in a matter of a few minutes. It drives me crazy, because I'm the total opposite, if I've got something to say, I'll say it in a concise manner and not ramble all over the landscape. The thing is though, I really like the guy, so I just bite my lip and try to keep him on track of what it is he's trying to tell me.

I think it's OK for people to be talkative around me, especially they are someone who I know well. Even if I feel bored to it, but I seldom interrupt them. People need to talk and release their pressure. I may be absent minded anyway:) I love China

i have aunts and teachers like that. i absolutely can not stand it. i just nod at them as they talk and im seriously not listening. every once in a while i would just smile and go oh yeah and then I'll say love to continue talking to you, but kind of in a hurry so sorry got to go. the hard part is that they always mean well butt they just can't understand when to shut up. good luck and god bless. cheers mate.

I know one person with such a behavior that person when started talking then never thinks that I am going somewhere or coming from somewhere. He just starts talking about different topics and troubles which he or someone in our surrounding is facing. Some times it right but extending discussions is really weird behavior. I can't even tell him that he is sometimes irritating.

I understand how you feel. There are just people who goes around talk and talk and talk and talk.. like there is no tomorrow without considering whether his/her audience are really interested in the topic or not. People like this are annoying and I mean REALLY REALLY ANNOYING!! It never failed to get on my nerves. zzzzz If I know the person well, I will tend to storm of right in front of him/her, but if he/she is some other random people that I do not know, guess I will find some reason, any reason that I can think of to get away from wherever he/she is at. If it comes down to situation that I cannot leave the place no matter what, then i will listen to some musics at full blast to block out the their voice =\

hey just put on the music and he or she will stop talking, or simple tell him or her that you are going to the toilet to ease yourself, sometimes i like people who talk a lot because i learn so many things from them but when they talk in such a way that they do not make sense again, thats when i excuse myself
