Re: people who talk too much
I had a recent phone conversation with a friend who literally talked for 95% of the time. I tell you, it was brutal. I have the patience to listen, but seriously, I really wonder where such people’s mannerisms are. This friend of mine is very well rounded, full of experience, and etc., but seriously one must be really self-obsessed to be talking about themselves continuously. At the end, all his words lost meaning because he just wouldn’t stop.

Chatterboxes are welcome on long journeys they help pass the time... but when I have clear sights and objectives that become jeapordised... then ussually the people and the conversations drop to the ground.
Generally I like it when people come together and chatter, i'm used to campfire smalltalk and sometimes its good for the general spirits, I try and listen and get a feel for the mood, any negative topics though or anything I dont like either gets suppressed or I walk away.
I ussually have no problem telling most people to shut up, especially if I have good reasons... but when elders are concerned then I just have to bite the bullet and walk on... I might not agree with the elders but they deserve respect nonetheless.
What annoys me is the men who get too nervous and spread rumours or bad views among groups, bad news spreads fast and I dont like the dampening effect it has on spirits... the worlds full of bad news, but that should not get in the way of things. When you have a duty to do its good to see the job through.

Re: people who talk too much
People who talk too much and then can’t seem to understand that you’re in no mood to talk…let alone be around them.
You give them hints…like looking at your watch…looking everywhere but at them…one-word responses…slowly backing away from them and toward the exit…and they keep yapping.

talkative folks create a very friendly, light atmosphere, I think to a certain level, i feel comfortable around them bc I know if they are thinking smtng, they will say it. Quiet and to the point people scare me, i find everything tense around them.

There's merit in what the OP has stated ... At least while we are talking we are not listening ... And listening with careful regard is the door to insight ... Of course, one needs to talk to express their insight, but knowing when to stop talking takes insight.
There is a scene in Kung Fu - the TV series, someone says to Cain, "you don't talk much do you?" And he replies, "Why talk when there is nothing important to say?"
Sometimes people say too much and sometimes people start to say things they don't mean ... it happens when they let loose their mouths without control ... There is a hadith that the "tongue" will take people to hell.
