Dealing with the Chatty Personality
What doesn’t this person say? When does this personality type pass on an opportunity to add their two cents? The chatty person is one who feels they need to fill every empty second with sound. They are usually uncomfortable with any type of silence even when alone. To deal with this person you should scale down on open ended questions. Sometimes it can be beneficial to cut the person off, in a not too rude fashion. Above all be firm but loving.
