Does anyone else have a compulsive talker in their life that absolutely drains them of what little mental energy they have? I love my mother to pieces, but there are many times where she will not. stop. talking. She flings random bits of important information at me verbally mid-rant and expects me to remember them days later. That or she repeats the same irrelevant thing over and over. I've tried explaining so many times that I can only process so much at once or that things need to be written down or that my brain will just check out if its non-essential for me to pay attention. I have so little and all I want is silence.

      Yep! One of my relatives is like that. He/she just can't stop talking and it's usually about me how I need to try harder and do better. I just grin and bear it, but honestly I don't care at all. I kind of nod and stop listening halfway through, so I don't get all my energy drained out of me.

        @jdog54321 I stop listening almost immediately. It's annoying when they say one important thing in the middle ofbtheir monolog and expect me to remember it. I even this specific person that I don't have the mental energy to listen to a lot of nothing and they get so insulted.
