Compulsive talking

Compulsive talking is when someone talks all the time and finds it very difficult to stop. It is like having a never-ending story that you want to share with others, even if they don't seem interested. It can happen for different reasons - sometimes people may feel lonely and want to connect with others, or they may feel anxious and talking helps them to calm down. However, it can also be a problem if it interferes with someone's ability to listen or if they end up talking too much and not being able to take in what others are saying. It is important to remember that talking to others is good, but it is also important to balance it with active listening and giving others a chance to talk as well.
