Do you think that there are some people that could talk forever and never seem to need to take a breathe, or even lose their voice.My friends son is like that all the time, also a few of my friends mates do it as well.Sometimes i get head aches that are made worse when these people come to see me, also they are here forever it seems, yet they are only here an hour if not less.

At least they leave. My husband will talk forever which also means he doesn't listen. When we first got together I thought I could never get tired of his voice--well it took about 18 yrs. He now has something wrong with his throat, unable to speek loudly and only for a very short time. As of yet I do not miss his gripping.

I have friends, well two of them really, that seem to go on and on forever.Sometimes it seems like they have alot to say and other times they say all the things that they have already spoken about.After a while it seems to get to me and i feel like saying can you shut up.

I know exactly how you feel. I told my husband once, that a conversation takes atleast two. If he's talking and I am listening, it's a lecture. Lectures bore me. I also think it very rude.
Once in a while, I tell him to shut up--just be quiet for a few minutes. I personally like silence.

hi unfortunately I have motor mouth Kathy as my roommate and when she starts on a talking jag she goes on and on and on and sometimes I respond and sometimes I just put my head phones on. she usually slows
down or stops after that. She thinks I am playing on the computer so
she does not understand that I am doing serious stuff. also I tell
'her and half an hour later she forgets. oh well could be much worse
while she was ill I was roomed with a lady who would not talk to
me.

There are just some people in this world that need to be the center of attention these are the people that will talk without stopping. it might be funny and amusing for a while, but then the laughter starts to fade and you just find it annoying. getting a word in edgewise becomes a difficult task. communication shouldn't have to be this way.

Yes at my school everyone knows that one person who just never stops talking. When she comes around the corner it's always her mouth that is open and noone else's. The people around her are always listening and laughing, maybe getting in a word or two before she goes on a word rampage. I think this must have been how she was raised because she doesn't seem to think it's annoying or anything. You know how some people are afraid of silence.. I think these types of people are a bit paranoid when no one is talking so they talk in desperation to fill in the blanks.

I used to have a friend who was like that. She wasn't a teenager either, but 43 at the time...and she would talk and talk....it was very hard to have a conversation with her...you couldn't get a word in edgewise. Literally. After a while, this got old to me. These people are selfish and self-centered. When will they learn?

I am quite the chatterbox my friend but I do take time out to breathe in between. lol and I am a good listener too. I figure in order for me to be heard, I too must allow them to speak so that they do not exhaust and stop listening.

Oh, I can't image that there are the same people. How can they do that?

You mean motor mouths. I can not stand that at all. I also could never live with someone that constantly talks and talks. I would rather listen to music and watch TV.

Yes i know peoples who talk non stop one of them is my best friend danie. Though he talks more than us he does not feel tired but he would help me a lot.next is my dear classmate Sangeetha.I would say to others that she is talkative and others mistake me that i love her but i like her character not bothering about anyone speaking frankly.

how old is your son's friend? if it's a pre-schooler it will always be talkative.. Nonetheless, We can't avoid talkative personalities especially fast talkers. I had an encounter like that and I can't bear it so I had to speak to her frankly about her "ability to talk a lot" but in the end I was the one who looked so bitter because all along she wants to entertain me coz she sees me always alone and unsociable. She was being concerned and I was too apathetic to even notice. I guess not all silent people know empathy.

Yes, I know these people. My mother was one. I think it was a nervous thing. She would tell me one story and in afew minutes she was repeating it. I could get up and leave the phone to do something else, come back and she was still going on about the same things. Some people just have to yammer on and on.

I know a few people who talk and talk and never seem to take a breathe! I work with a woman like that! I don't know how she breathes! She can go on like 5 minutes before she let you talk! I have no idea how she does it! The other person is a guy and which a lttle strange! Most men aren't no stop talkers! Anyway this guy goes on and on when I see him! He tells me stuff about his wife,their dog,their horse,his job and other things! I won't mind so much but I usually am doing something and need to get it done! So I don't always have the time to listen! I think everyone knows a person or two like that!

Hi joy..
I dont like bubbling people. In real world, i speak less and most often want to stay alone, hence i avoid crowd and party .... i always maintain a vast distance from them who talk a lot.
Have a nice day.

I think there really are people who love to talk. I know a lot of people who are like that, I'm friends with some of them. Being a quiet person, most times it is hard to listen to all them. Its okay with me when we are in the mall or park.

Those are the people who are not good listeners and they only want to dominate the conversation. But there are those born talkers and cant stand up being quiet the whole day. I am more of a listener than a talker so when a friend starts talking non-stop, i just keep quiet and reacts to what she is saying and after a while, I start to make excuses like going somewhere, or do some errands just to let her leave me alone.....:-)
