bisan uno day tanulti. There are mates in the office
or organization who will often raise their hands during discussions while the
rest of the companions cower on their seats, embarrassed by the actions of the
comrade.
Plato once said: Wise men speak because they
have something to say; Fools because they have to say something. Indeed, there
are those who will just speak for the sake of talking.
To bloviate is talk at length, especially in an
inflated or empty way. We often hear people in academic discourses who will
suddenly rise from their seats in an attempt to talk but then we do not
understand what they are pointing at. They simple babble which can sometimes
become their habits in gatherings.
The thing about it is they feel good about the
deed. They do not understand the importance of maximizing time by curtailing
the smooth flow of the intellectual colloquies.
But anything can be said since we have the right
to express ourselves, right? Yet, there are psychological implications on
people who will talk for the sake of talking which often routes the discussion
to them.
A conversational narcissist is someone who
constantly turns the conversation toward themselves and steps away when the
conversation is no longer about them. They are generally uninterested in what
other people have to say (Moore, 2020).
Conversational narcissists don't necessarily
meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis of narcissistic personality disorder
(NPD), says Wendy Behary, LCSW. "They're usually somewhere on the
spectrum, though.”
Conversational narcissists will jump into the
conversation while someone is midsentence. At first listen, it can sound like
they're being helpful or sharing a resource, but it quickly becomes clear that
this conversation is no longer about you—it's about them (Behary, 2020).
Again, depression is not just the mental health
issue that we need to consider.
