How do you handle an incessant talker?

I am probably guilty. I have been a big talker since grade school. I use to fail “Social Behavior” for talking. I am incredibly uncomfortable in a social situation if there is silence. It feels awkward and uncomfortable so I fill in.

I also like to talk. If I meet a fellow talker we can go on for a long time. Sometimes I do actually get bored or antsy and want to end the conversation. And I do avoid some people that I might get in to a prolonged conversation with.

I also consciously try to be a good listener and let others speak because I am aware that incessant talkers can be boring, trying and major PIAs.
