people who cant stop talking

what's the worst is getting drunk or fucked up with those kind of people
 
Two years ago someone who I had not spoken to since 1986 in early high school found me online. He wound up calling me on the phone.

He talked for over an hour straight, and kept starting sentences with "another thing about me is....". He didn't ask me one question about myself or my life since we last saw each other, and would cut me off when I attempted to tell him about my family or whatever. I eventually put the phone down, not on speaker, and would just pick it up every few minutes and say "um, hm" or "oh yeah", etc..

One really odd story that stood out was that he told me he was now a long distance cyclist. He said he had a recent accident on the side of a busy road where he wiped out and broke his leg, with cars driving by ignoring him laying injured on the ground. When I told him that was terrible that no one stopped to help him, he quickly explained that they did not stop because they noticed how expensive his bike was and were jealous.

I later told this story to a cyclist friend of mine, and he was not surprised at all and told me other cyclists were some of the weirdest people he ever met in his life.
 
Apparently I marry/date people like this. With my ex-wife every friend I had took me aside at some point and said fuuuuuck how do you deal with her?! I said I just didn't mind her talking that much, which always led to incredulous loooks.

I have class with a guy like that. Everything the teacher says reminds him of some personal story and he just has to tell it and he doesn't care if anyone's listening intently or not. Most of the stories have absolutely no point but to help him stop feeling awkward about keeping quiet.
 
This fucko at work is on repeat from his highschool years. Kills me.
 
My younger sister is one of these people. We can be skyping for 2 hours and of that time I get maybe 15 minutes talk in.

In person I tend to nod and smile until I can make my escape, or the introvert in me loses patience and I just ignore them until they take the hint and go away.

Embarrassingly, I have a different persona at work than anywhere else where I am more upbeat and talkative, and I have caught myself at times running off at the mouth like one of these people.
 
There's and even deadlier version.

The one mentioned coupled with extreme attention seeking (disorder or w/e).

So when you start to ignore them, they will literally suck you right into it again.

how do you react to people who verbalize every single thought that enters their head, especially at work? its usually such completely empty filler dialogue that all i can really do is nod and smile, but after 20 minutes or so i cant do it anymore, so i just end up ignoring them. funny thing is, they dont seem to mind. i think theyre used to it, so they just keep talking to themselves and i just focus on something else.

Your observation is exactly the same as mine. They don't seem to care that I've stopped listening. I've even gotten up and just walked away and they seem fine with it. They also seem fine with me cutting them off mid sentence and saying, "I've got to go right now." But yeah, they're giant Me-Monsters and are brutally annoying.
 
My ex-roommates are fellow Ex-shipmates, so they like to talk about themselves, and make everything bigger than it is. Cut you off, and just ramble on and on. Its extremely annoying. I would just walk away when I had enough.

So how did she become that way? I've always wondered? Are Mom and Pops that way? Or is it the opposite? Are Mom and Pop strict and never let the kids share opinions so now Sis shoots off endlessly any chance she gets?

Does your sister realize she has this problem?
 
my mother is like this. i thank god that i don't visit that often.

Well most people who think they're the most interesting person in the room don't realize they aren't ;)

She is definitely the opposite of me and my mother, but my Dad is one of those guys who love to hold forth and can get people to listen so it's probably partially genetic. The problem is when the person is somewhat intelligent you can't just dismiss them outright like you would someone spouting bullshit.
 
There was one blabber mouth at my work who wouldn't stop, and if no one would listen, she would start talking out loud to her computer like:

"Time to check my mail. I wonder what I've got today. Ohhh, looks like a lot of spam, but here is an email from the boss man, time to figure out what he needs. Looks like he needs me to wrap up these TPS reports....etc."

It would confuse people near her because they would think she was talking to them so they would respond to her and accidentally get sucked into the tornado. But one guy figured it out and would just start thinking out loud to his own computer like, "I can hear Barbara right now. She is talking, but she is facing a computer. I wonder if she is speaking to a person or just talking to the computer itself. Etc."
