My dear Aunt was an incessant talker. She would make a comment, bounce it from China to Alaska, and then 20 minutes later make her point. And then start her next stream of consciousness.

I loved her but it was really hard to be around her. Which is more hurtful? Telling someone that their chatting is driving everyone insane? Or hurt them by avoiding them in social situations?
