Just listen and whatever you do--DON'T TALK!!!

Do you know someone who talks A LOT? I know someone who talks from the moment they spot me. They randomly start talking, and talking and talking. The talking is not the problem, the problem is that they don't want any type of feedback or interruption because if you do, they completely forget what they were saying and become extremely agitated. I could deal with not saying anything but what bothers me is that this person is most of the time so frustrated to begin with. Even the pleasant stories are like forced out and rushed like as if she's about to forget what she was saying. It's a bit worrisome. Do you know anyone like that? How do you handle it?

I also have this officemate and at the same time my co-member in our organization.
She always do the talking and its very annoying though its pretty obvious that we are not listening.(lol).. When we discussed about work, she does'nt listen at all because she's a cumlaude, that she was a teacher of a pretigious school, that she has a masters degree and currently taking her doctoral and blah, blah, blah..She always boasts her achievements. The sad thing is she intimidate others, she always point out that she's superior beyond anyone else. In all fairness, she's really smart but she does'nt have the attitude. Somehow I felt sorry for her because people are trying to avoid her, nobody wants to work with her. How do I handle the situation when we converse? I would listen to her but couldn't promise if I absorb everyhting and when she asks for my opinion then I will talk if not then I will politely say that I have to go to cut the conversation. :)
