Met one of those yesterday. It's a never ending stream of language with these people. It's my own brother and he's been this way for years. Got a colleague who's the same. Those two would get along great, i bet. I only ask that guy for advice if I absolutely have to because I know I'll be tied up in a meandering, one-sided conversation for minutes when a one sentence answer would have sufficed.

In Germany we have a proverb. "If they die, you'll still have to beat their mouths to death."

I understand Foghorn Leghorn better each passing day. "Yappity, yappity, yap I can't get a word in edge ways, talk, talk, talk"

LMFAO!

Most of them don't have an inner monologue.

Had the same thought. To them it must seem normal and we're the weird ones.

The life hack I have come up for people like this is to stand too closely to them when they talk. Have a great big smile on your face, like a crazy one. If they move away, move in closer. If they ask "what are you doing" say, in an almost gay way, "I'm REALLY into what you have to say and want to soak up every word". Slowly move your hand towards theirs until it is almost touching, you don't have to touch, they'll already feel grossed out and get really uncomfortable, make some excuse and get away from you.

The next time you see them, call their name and run up to them with a big smile and get too close again. They'll get away ASAP.

I have never had to do that more than twice to get to the point where they are basically running when they see me, or jumping into a conversation with anyone else to get away.

Only tell people you really trust what you have done. You don't want it getting back to the blabber mouth, or else they might start talking to you again.

Not only that, but once they are done saying what they had to say, they'll just start all over again.

I just recently let a person like that talk without me saying a word just to see how many loops she will go through. After some 20 mins we were at look 3 and I just had to cut it off.

These people don't talk TO you, they talk AT you.

My saying for those people is, "When their eyes open in the morning, their mouth does too."

I'm sorry, but I'm still not following.

I need more coffee.
