the gift of gab
    #18920215 - 10/02/13 10:02 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

is not a gift, but a curse! it is the most annoying thing you could get caught up in.

i work with two people who will not stop talking ever! a simple how ya doin turns into an hour story on their life. this other guy will call random places just to talk with the person on the other line.

the other day he called this watch place about a battery that was needed. for maybe a minute he talked about the batter then for the next 45 minutes he talks to this guy about EVERYTHING thats going on in his life. we also here the same story 4-5 times a day. he actually feels the need to stop and tell everyone the same damn story even though we all work in a small office and here everything.

dont get me wrong, both these people are extremely nice. very helpful and will go out of their way if needed. thing is, they just have to talk, like non stop.

one of the ladies here actually walk around with head phones on that are not plugged into anything so she can simply ignore then. its rude, i know, but im sure some of you know exactly what im talking about...

Dear Kratom,

I've been numb for so long that I forgot how to feel
So I don't care if it will break my heart,
Just fuck me till I disappear

Yeah I can relate to what youre saying, the words you say seem to reflect some sort of understanding of the stories they express. I usually will purposely try to avoid getting involved with these people, whenever I see one of them around I will walk away before they can even talk to me, that way they never can say anything to me and I didn't have to hear it. One time I saw one of them telling me a story about her husband that recently quit drinking but picked up a shoe and threw it at the cat, and the cat jumped to the bedside and it broke the window. Then I realized that she had told this same story to someone last night, because I remember them talking about it at the pool which I went in every night before bed. T

hough my wife oddly didn't ever see these people at the pool but whom did originally used to be seen at my golf club, but they would be with about three more friends than usual. Sometimes I would be jealous because he would be talking to over 3 friends while I only had 1, whom lived in New York and I only saw once a year, though when he came we were snapped into an instant gaiety which imposed a silence which engaged all its miraculous components to dedicate a replica of a wonder paradise without any of the features of that paradise, or that paradise would seem to have corresponded to something that otherwise wouldn't be classified as paradise, and if someone did suggest that the paradise was imposed in that sentence, then they must have saw it from a view other than what they had saw. They would need to define the word in a way that would allow you to abandon the former views of its definition.

Sometimes you will hear yourself thinking of some witty remark, and it is as if this remark becomes your standard to build a world of color, a world where the remark has been enriched by the remarkable designs of the greatest painter in the 1600's, which he had just time warped from 10 minutes ago, but which, sadly, was not noticed by a certain person of ill repute whom abandoned any meaningful insights into life by becoming an immense amount of overloaded phrases with no significance. I received an invite from my wife that said she wanted me to come to the play later, she said that her friend also wanted her to show up, but one of her friends didn't want me to come and advised I stay home. Though I later discovered that her friend had recently left the theater and was coming over to her moms house, where she was going to urge her brother to take her to the park where she could get away. My boyfriend said that he wasn't joking when he said he was going to come to the theater before me, and he looked at his watch and said I bet I will get there first. As if implying some sort of direct challenge to everything I believed before I went, which I knew he was in some ways prone to doing.

I think of it as the ability to spout witty stuff off the cuff, especially if you can pull that off when you're extremely drunk. People who just fill the air with bullshit all day long are not quite the same thing.

i have a buddy like this, he's openly admitted that he is addicted to talking.  some people just grow up talking all the time and cannot bear the silence.  i couldn't imagine a life like that.  not knowing how to break for a pit stop.

i know what you mean.  it's the epitome of insanity.  what is it, 80+% of language is non-verbal?  some people just cannot pick up on it.  or they are too convinced that reality is merely the shell of what's actually there.

the other day one of the guys was talking to one of the other workers and you could tell she wasnt listening and did not want to be apart of the convo.

what she did was so funny and the guy never picked up on it.

she was literately repeating the last word of every sentence. i was :lol: the entire time.

Yes there was a study in the year 2006 that stated that majority of our language is non verbal. I remember my mother told me about it before I went to tea, and she said that my sister also wanted to tell me about it but my mom did instead. Though I later found out that the study wasn't fully valid, since there seemed to be some uncertainty in the statements announced. Most of us usually communicate through other means, we will sometimes find ourselves adopting a sort of slang which doesn't use regular language to communicate, a language which sees how arbitrary words really are.

We remain in a medium which doesn't use language to speak, but instead body language which is much more useful to discern a persons real outlook. If we refrain from the expression of certain things, if we'd rather go back into our invert medium while withholding information, then others may assume us solitary creatures more prone to ignoring other people. I fall into this category of people, usually I will be with someone but will completely ignore everything they are saying, or if I do actually take into account anything they say I usually won't take much of it as valuable. Indeed, at times I will actually try to purpose hide from these people so I don't have to form a bond with them, so even when they desire to form a relationship with me I will ignore their request and find new friends. I found a new friend recently, someone that also, coincidentally, made a friend a week before I first came into his life.

He actually made over 500 friends the first week of school and I was somewhat jealous in his ability to attain so many friendships whilst I only had 1 friend still, in some ways I would try to persuade him to give me his friends, to try to urge them to talk to me so I could become as socially active as he was, since I myself usually wouldn't talk, you would have to drag the words out of my mouth in order for them to establish a form on the air. So people would hang out with this "king" of the social world in order to become as confident in speaking as he was, and once they hung out with him they realized just how easy it was to open their mouth and allow words to appear.

After enough time most of them would start talking, and if they didn't start talking with him there they would after he left. My nephew is a mute and hardly utters a word, sometimes ppl think that he hasn't said anything in over 5 years, and he learned how to speak last week. I first told him about my friend whom taught him how to roll syllables off his tongue to articulate a message to someone to read and discern, and after that he became as socially penetrating as him. However, one of his friends had recently decided never to speak to him again after an argument.
