Conversationally Dominant? - The Opposite of Shy Guy

So a few posts back I discussed the difficulty of meeting someone who has nothing to add to the conversation.

Well I have recently experienced a new species in the animal kingdom. He has been around for a while, but it is has been a long time since I had interaction with him.

I believe the subspecies category is I-am-going-talk-the-whole-time-about-myself-because-I-am-that-great-and-I-know-you-only-want-hear-about-me-and-you-dont-want-me-to-ask-you-any-questions-to-get-to-know-you-saurus.

I know - that is mouth full - i am suprised Encyclopedia Brittanica actually had a page on this animal.

I mean damn - come on - no matter how great you are, how exciting you think you might be, every now and then lets all learn to shut up for just a little bit and let the other person talk. I mean how are you going to get to know the other person if ya never let them speak.

Oh..and the afore-mentioned member of the animal kingdom...after he was done talking he was like...

Him: "Ok..your turn."

I respond: "What?"....

He says "Tell me about you."

I respond, "So it appears we are having two monologues instead of a dialogue I see."

Ugh - where are the people who know how to have an engaging conversation without dominating, without monopolizing, and without only talking about themselves....

hmmmmmmm......

So...anyway back to me and my needs..... :-)
