I know what you’re talking about. I know a person, they’re quite decent, but they cannot stop talking and there’s no way for anyone else to contribute to the conversation. It’s rather frustrating for most people and very disruptive to any kind of group communitacion. It also comes across as selfish. I don’t think the meme is about such special rare cases though.
Yeah exactly my thoughts. Between work and friend circles and one niece, I know like a half dozen. I do find it really selfish because you either need to interrupt them (which is normally rude), or noone else gets a chance to say anything…
It can also be a cyclic issue. Some people have been on the receiving end of this, and decide to hold the “talking stone” for as long as possible with “um, and then, so, like” to prevent being cut off or interrupted.
Calm, orderly discussion where everyone’s given a chance to talk is harder to find, and promotes the right social behaviors where people are allowed to pause to plan their thoughts.
