I know a couple...you know those kind of people...the ones that never listen, interupt you to talk about something irrevalant to whatever you were saying..I eventually end up telling them that they talk way too much and it gets annoying....but it dont help cause they end up interrupting me when I am telling them that, to talk about something else.. WTF. LOL:rastasmoke:
err, probably not on the same level, but my wife loves to talk :wtf: she loves to ask questions too...
Yeah I try to avoid those types. When I'm around them I don't respond to their comments and don't ask them q's, just make general dicta to no one in specific (generally too abstract or intellectual for them to be capable of responding anyway, but that doesn't keep them from talking). I tell them the more time they spend talking the less time they have to think. Fuckers on cell phones should all get into one big collective fatal car crash
Ugh. Yes. One of my friends is someone who always feels she has to be running her mouth.
And two of my parents' oldest friends, both older ladies, are notoriously incessant talkers. It is so exhausting to be with them for any length of time.
My husband occasionally tells me--and I consider this a high compliment--that one of the reasons he loves me is that I know how to be quiet and don't always have to fill empty air time. I think not having to articulate every thought that comes through our head is a good thing, particularly for women. It helps us maintain more control and promote an aura of mystery.
I do the same thing..There is just a time to shut up and listen..watch the pauses and never be the one to break the silence..I love the silent moments that I have with people..it actually makes me closer to them because there is no need to impress or fill silent gaps with nonsensical bs..Less is More....Less is MoreQuote:

i can't stand that ringing of silence.. i never could.
yeah, talking can sometimes kill the mood, especially over talking.
â??Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.â?
I know a few people who like to talk, a lot. One, is a co-worker. She is one of those people who think every thought out loud, so not only do I process my own own thoughts, but hers as well. It's exhausting. :p
The other is a dealer who I rarely go to. Him and his girlfriend are the type to talk at the exact same time, seriously. They both talk to me at the same time so there is 2 of them yapping at me about the current topic we are talking about. Pretty annoying as well. Then when I have something to say, it's like 5 seconds, and they start going off, at the same time, for another 5 minutes. Not only is his weed not up to par, he is annoying, and his bags don't weigh up. He thinks I don't wseigh my shit or something. He always sells me 13.5gram half ounces, and when I get an ounce, he gives me 2 half ounce bags, with 13.5grams in each. Me losing 1 gram total.
He wonders why I don't call him anymore. Bastard!
I hve found that a lot of dealers are incessant talkers..maybe it is because they want to space out the time that you get there to the time you leave..so it dosent look suspicious..they learned that trick in dealer school.
my mom.....
I have developed a skill, not to even hear what she says. It's like my brain has learned to put her on mute while everything else is normal.

She was always right about everything, even when I would prove her wrong and she knew it, she would yell about something else. This actually reminds me of a funny story... Me and a buddy of mine where about to smoke a bowl when she calls, i talk for about two minutes untill she goes off telling a story, put the phone on my lap and start smoking the bowl. Finish the bowl, pick the phone up say, "uh huh" and she never knew that I hadnt listened to a word she said.
Other than that, my friend/co-worker talks forever, about nothing and also knows the right answers, and hes girls are always better looking than everyone elses, he could knock out Mike Tyson with one punch, and always has the best bud in the nation. But he still makes me laugh.
But out of my close friends, I am the talker, I also have a booming voice, and that doesnt help. And like Slip I dont like the silence, it makes me think to much, and they are in depth thoughts over shit. I have to have a tv on to sleep, cause Im not much of a music fan.
The guy I dated this summer, his mom was one of those people... She would always find some way to focus the conversation to herself. Nice woman, but it gets eck after a while.
I can relate to this... I dont talk all the time, but I hate absolute silence (not like silence out in nature, but that silence of a dead room indoors) It makes my ears literally ring. Although thats cause I have Tinnitis, which is a condition resulting from a slight hearing impairment).Quote:

It makes me hate silence indoors, I try to keep some music playing at all times if I can, even quietly. But still, someone that talks all the time, even if most of what they say is intelligent and not rambling it's bound to get annoying.
my wife talks and talks and talks and don't hear any of it lol. After a while I'm just like. yo ya know I have no idea what the hell your talking about.... all just starts to blend together and sounds like a swarm of bees buzzing around my ear hehe. Not like I'm any better though, I'm a story teller, I've lived an eventful life, if ya wanna hear some funny or informative shit get me started talking
People with A.D.D./A.D.H.D. can talk, and while you're talking, not listen, then interrupt you when you're halfway through your sentence.
I had a friend with ADD. It was pretty annoying.Quote:

yep, brothers wife. it can come in handy sometimes as unless it is someone i know well i can have a tendency to run into huge dead ends in conversation. i guess i know her well but that also goes for people i dont particularly like. those damn dead ends. but with her shell just be like, uh can we talk about(whatever she was talking about before you started) now/again. no shit shell just come right out and say that. no shame haha

Then i realized that many people simply cant stand the silence. For me, its as incomprehensible as it may seems for you my liking for quietness, and my disliking for noise.
Anyway, i would like to understand it, so i would like to know why does you cant stande the silence? What it causes to you, or what it makes you feel? Or, why does it bothers you so much?
I try not to interupt people, but damn, i can talk non stop for hours - if it's something i enjoy - like ganja or boats.
When i went to the dam in 06 i met a guy in a bar and we we're talking about boating for hours upon hours.
But then i can go for hours and hours without saying a word.
My girlfriend has "all of the above" and it frustrates me because I never know if I should tell her to hold on for a second or listen to her, because what I'd hear, if I didn't listen to her, wouldn't be important. :stoned:Quote:

One notable exception would be classical. I tend not to feel emotion with classical, but strokes of intellectual and creative activity in other areas of my brain.
When it's silent the roles are reversed and I am vulnerable to my brain's whimsy. If it starts going in the direction of trivial, immediate personal concerns I can shift it toward the ethereal, philosophical, political, scientific, etc. I don't claim to be any influential pundit in those areas, but I enjoy the science of thought.
I didnt see this when i posted before.Quote:

Everyone knows people like that. I feel like i know too many. The funny thing is, i'm sure someone feels the same way about all of us too. At least one person.
The former office manager at my office. Notice I said "former." That won't do at any sort of business, much less one that deals with improving people's health.
my friend talks alllllllllll the time about how hard up she is, how hard her life is about all her troubles. i always go see her when im down. it always perks me up :) she doesnt really have any problems. she just wishes she does :) i gotta keep tabs on her though she can draw you in real easy
