I know people who just can't stop talking when someone engages them. I fall in there and have noticed it can result in people avoiding me. This is serious and has really hurt my reputation.
I have a friend who just can't shut up. I paid him a visit when he moved back. I was there for over two hours and could barely get a word in. He talked constantly. On FB everyday I get over a dozen notifications that he has updated with superficial gab. He's even mentioned suicide. Another friend who talks too much and has lost business clients-I know because I was present, stopped over to plan for an upcoming job. He and I and my wife who also talks too much and with little quality went on for over an hour. I thought "holy crap there are three of us babbling here". Other than brute force will power is there any medication or therapy that would help me to calm down and be better socially? I have thought about forcing myself to work harder at my own interests and this would help I think. Is there any official personality disorder classification for this condition?
