Sometimes,I find talkative people can be very annoying. They are very noisy. They talk at any places during any occasions. They just don't care and they will keep on talking. I have a few friends who are very talkative. They just talk where ever they go and what ever time they like. They just don't bother whether silence is important in that particular place. They love talking. What would you do if you have talkative friends like me? Would you stay far from them? Or any other ways? Please comment,thanks.

Talkative people are fine with me because I'm a talkative person. It is those that have to be heard above anyone else, that don't know when to shut up and let someone else talk that bothers me. I guess the one that bothers me most is when I've talking, trying to get a point across and someone interrupts and your listener just avoids what you are talking about rather than telling the other person they are busy. It annoys me to be ignored! This happens quiet often, too, among a group of women I see lots. I sometimes just shut up and don't say anything else. Someone is bound to notice and say 'what were we talking about'?

I have a few friends like that, but I don't avoid them. I'm good at just taking people as they come, rude or not, LOL. As long as they don't hurt anyone or are not criminals, I'm fine with them.
Whenever they get to be too much, I just nicely dismiss myself and leave or hang up the phone.
But they can get under my skin and sometimes drive me nuts :o)

I avoide talkative people like the plague. Right now I have a co-worker who talks non-stop on the phone. Fortunately, we just moved into new office space so that she has her office and I have my space and hopefully she'll stay in her office and I can finally have some peace and get work done without so much interruption.

Sorry, I hit the submit button before I answered your discussion.
I guess that if I were you, I'd simply avoid the people who are so talkative until they give up on you and find someone else to annoy.

You are pretty darn right about that, talkative people can be very annoying sometimes, they may come in handy whenever there are boring times but most of the time they annoy me. Well I'm not a very talkative person but once I get annoyed I'll just keep my silence and eventually the non-stop-talking person I'm with will just shut there mouth, that means they know I'm not in the mood.

Hello, Yenwie84.
I do have a very talkative friend. He spends the whole time telling stories about anything. Always talking, talking and talking. It is great, actually, because you never feel alone, there is always someone there to talk to you, and his stories are fun. You can listen and laugh. However, I am starting to feel that he is annoying, because everytime I try to say something, he just keeps quiet but he actually isn't listening. His eyes are not even looking at me, he is just flying around, probably lost in the thoughts of his another story. And he only says: "Ýep. Yep." like agreeing to whatever you say, WHEN he answers. So, this is pretty annoying for me. I don't like to talk to everybody, I only like to talk to my friends, but if one of them leave me talking alone, then it sucks.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

I don't mind talkative people as long as they are interesting. If all they talk about are people or rumors or gossip or issues which are too big for them then I would promptly get bored. I don't care for talk. I care for productive talk. I hate people who whine and complain constantly. If they have energy to whine they should have enough energy to make their lives better. Cheers!!

Hi!
I have meet lots of those.
Some of them are scared and feel like they must talk.
It is like smoking.When it gets to quite they get unsure of
themselves.
On the other hand some of these talkative people are only
thinking of themselves, are selfish and think they are so
interesting to listen too. When at the same time they don't
listen to you.The popular types.
How I deal with this.
Well when I get the first type, I like to ask them questions
to find out what is wrong. I find it interesting to talk to
people who hind there insecurity.
On the other hand, those people who love being popular without
thinking of others. That bores me.
I will listen for a couple of minutes, so I am not rude.
But, then I will try to escape.
" Oh excuse me, I still have to take care of something, we can talk
another time."
Does not help all the time, but most of the time it works, hahaha!
Take care,
Margajoe

You call them friends,you know they are talkative,and i guess you could also think in their position,they may think you are too quiet sometimes,friends should tolerate each other,try to talk to them when they are taking inconveniently,they can understand,i'd say i am a quiet person,but i enjoy being with those talkative friends,they make me relax.

I'm a talkative person but not like the one you described. The one you described annoys me too. i find them too loud and insensitive. There ARE people who are like these. I'd say I'd avoid going near them. When I meet somebody THAT talkative I'm the one gets tired. LOL!
