How do you handle an incessant talker?

I think that the Chatty Cathies (of both sexes) fall into a couple of categories…

1) the nice good-hearted ones who just seem to have a lot of nervous energy/anxiety. They will listen to your stories (when you have a chance to tell any…lol)

2) the more disturbed ones who get angry/annoyed when you either mention it, need to interrupt them. Instead of “getting the message” when they see that others are “tuning them out,” they get angry. They aren’t great listeners, some are terrible listeners. They really do not care if you want to listen to a TV show, have some quiet time, or whatever. They have a “need” to say something, and by golly, you’re gonna listen to it.
