I just realized I have a new pet peeve and is my friend non-stop talking. I love her but she just simply won’t shut up ever, she’s the ultimate yapper
I’m not vert talkative so most of the times I just stay quiet or briefly add comments but when we bring something up my friend starts talking and then proactively changes to another subject and she can go like that for 20-30 mins non-stop she can talk about the weather, then her boyfriend then her work, commuting, and so on… and I find it irritating or I find myself dissociating and with no attention or understanding anything she talks about because my brain gets tired, sometimes it isn’t even a conversation is just her yapping while the rest are quiet
In the past I’ve tried a couple of things like “please don’t talk to me now because I’m not being fully aware” (because of being overstimulated” or “I don’t want to talk” but then she feels hurt and her mood changes completely as though I made her feel like an annoying person. I love her but can’t stand it most of the times
Any tips about how to approach this?
