Logorrhea: People Who Never Shut Up

Anyone who has frequent bouts of logorrhea is certainly a communicative person. There is nothing wrong with loving talking, the problem arises when you overdo it. Some people talk so much that if we sewed their mouths, the letters would come out of their ears. They cannot keep silence, to the point of talking to the television if they cannot find any interlocutors.

This conduct is sometimes suffocating for others. There are those who try to have a normal conversation, but give up after a while. There is no way to make them stop. They generally choose their “victims” with care. They are silent and affable people, who would not have the courage to ask for silence or to be left alone during a bout of speech. They cash in without reacting.

Speeches of talkative people generally revolve around a single axis: themselves. Others will have to put up with a detailed monologue about their opinions, facts, appreciations, plans, memories and anything else that concerns them. This, in the long run, does not exhaust you. But why can’t these people keep quiet?

They know everything and more

Attacks of logorrhea are common in people who boast that they know everything about any subject. Or at least that’s what they believe. There is no area they haven’t investigated or a topic they don’t have an opinion to share. Everything that happens in the world has happened to them before or is about to happen.

They will not hesitate to teach their lesson even when they have not studied a subject, but simply read something about it. If they are really competent, even worse. They are tireless professors ready to offer detailed data and analysis without anyone asking for them. Sometimes they turn into a nightmare.

These people love difficult words and pompous speeches. They see the world as a large audience ready to listen to them. They don’t feel they can learn from others, only they can teach something. Simply put, they love to be the center of attention.

Logorrhea not caught

Talkative people aren’t always cultured. There are also those who do not argue about any topic, but limit themselves to telling others about their life. They place a huge emphasis on whatever happened to them, narrating it in every detail as if it were of extreme importance.

Still others believe that the people around them are constantly asking for an opinion or advice. One cannot comment on one’s situation which formulate diagnoses and conjectures about what we should do, how and why. There is a dynamic similar to that triggered by those who complain relentlessly.

The problem is that once we fall into their web of words, inertia prevents us from getting out of it. The only unpleasant alternative is to ask them to be quiet. Alone they will hardly find the time to listen.

How to deal with a talkative?

A person who makes logorrhea his communication style could have a psychological disorder  or simply an unlimited self-centeredness. Although the latter cannot be categorized as a real disorder, it is certainly not a symptom of a healthy mind.

Some stages of mania, anxiety, or agitation lead to talking, talking, and more talking. Communicating relentlessly is a way to express a concern that prevents them from being silent or / and listening. These people speak in a compulsive, often disordered manner. They can jump from one topic to another without any links. In these cases, listening to them can help. Following their speech and making your own comments can help calm them down.

If, on the other hand, the talkative is self-centered, a more frequent case, it means that he has not developed the psychological skills to establish bilateral communication. The interlocutors become passive containers of his eternal monologues, his audience. In these cases the best thing to do is not to lend yourself to this narcissistic game.
