How do you feel about people who are good talkers but poor listeners?

If someone is a great conversationalist, I don't mind doing all the listening. On the other hand, people who monopolize a conversation and never stop to hear anyone else's input, are a drain on the brain.

Yeah it actually drains me, and makes me sleepy to listen to someone talk non stop

@swandfriends I had a relative once who talked non-stop on the phone. She wouldn't even pause for breath to listen to me answer a question. I was actually able to put the phone down, go make a cup of tea, come back, pick up the phone and find her still rattling on -- never knowing the difference.
