Irritated when someone talks just for the sake of talking

I agree. People need to learn to quit being afraid of silence.

Just pretend to fall asleep when people are talking too much.

HAHA THIS WAS SO FUNNY! BUT YEAH, THE PEOPLE WHO TALK JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT REALLY ANNOY ME. TIME TO START USING YOUR FISTS

It's totally normal. I work with a guy who talks constantly. To make things worse, he doesn't want anyone else's opinion and speaks with a monotone voice. Everyone tries to avoid him, and your heart sinks when he corners you.

I love u.ur jus like me in ways of thinking.but ya all that shit is annoying but u CNT stop it without them getting butthutrt I know cuz iv expressed that inner sarcasm out loud sumtimes but it jus hurts feelings and or starts a fight/argument

What are some synonyms of monologue(ing)?
I know a guy, that once he starts on a subject he won't stop. Even after you tell him good-bye and walk away, he's still talking!

I don't know why but this question makes me fall in love with you

I'm so glad I found this!!!! It actually makes me feel a lot better to know that I'm not the only one out there that feels like this!!!
My mother in law just doesn't know what silence means. We can't watch a movie or any kind of tv without her making some kind of comment like: oh look that girl is getting poked, is she related to such and such? Is that person going to die? Is that the mother of the kid? Grrrrrrrrrrr lady we are watching the same show!
Also, it irritates the hell out of me that she is one of the biggest one uppers I've ever met! You cannot say anything without her hving a story for you, I mean anything!!!
Me: oh look it's raining!
Her: oh yeah let me tell you about raining, this one time when I was 11 it was raining an then my friend such and such bla bla bla bla!
I cannot stand it anymore!
But I can't discuss it with my hubby! He gets overly protective of her, I need some advise! :(

Iin, but it also is silly. Some people enjoy silence or only talking about topics that they think are important while for others the act of talking itself is pleasurable and a good, fun conversation is something to be cooperatively made, rather than decided upon beforehand.

Or she could have been bored and a little disturbed because she was sitting next to some grumpy guy that obviously disliked whatever she did so she futiley tried to find something to talk about no matter how mundane

I find it normal. Some people just need to fill the silence with words, but we might not be in the mood for listening to them.

Some people just can't sit in silence comfortably. It can get annoying but just look at it as a nervous reaction. I get irritated by it too because I'm shy and normally introverted myself. I agree that it's normal to dislike this but just try to have patience. Good Luck~

There is such a thing as companionable silence. And people can be gently told that. But lighten up on people who are just trying to make conversation. That's just rude.

totally normal! Though I must admit I find silence awkward...

Well, it certainly seems normal to me. I have the same problem. Can't stand it when someone is just rambling on and on....totally pisses me off and makes me want to slap the snot right out of them! And another thing....if I'm sitting in a room just resting, trying to meditate, taking a long hot bath, reading a book, or whatever, and someone comes in and turns on the TV or the radio, it annoys the shit out of me! If I wanted the freaking noise I would have turned the damm thing on myself! They need to have some common courtesy and ask me if I mind if you turn it on, you know what I mean?? Damn inconsiderate people!!
