I often complain about the Chatty Cathy's I work. Encountering the CC's in the non-work world is usually not as bad because you can move. However, I went to my chiropractor and decided to get a massage. The therapist would not shut up the entire time. She asked me how to make Taverns (referred to as Sloppy Joes in some areas). I'm here to relax, lady. So a couple questions... Has this happened to you before (stuck in a situation with a CC and can't easily leave)? What is a polite way to say, "Shut up?" Do any of you have TMJ? If so what have you found for relief? The chiropractor isn't helping much.

I wasn't saying you should take Wellbutrin. I was pointing out the fact that any kind of mental stimulation caused by stimulating substances can cause tension throughout the body. Including the anti-depressant Wellbutrin. And yes, Wellbutrin can be prescribed to help relieve the symptoms of narcolepsy, but perhaps it didn't work for you and thats why you said that.

Heh. Just got back from the dentist (cleanings). My wife and i scheduled our appointments to coincide, but i was done a good 20 minutes before she was. See, apart from briefly exchanging pleasantries, i don't talk to the dentist or hygienist, while she keeps a running conversation going with one or both of them throughout the entire appointment. Then again, she gets more free dental swag than i do, so i guess the chatty thing is working for her. And yes, she suffers from TMJ - they took a mold of her lower teeth and made a clear, flexible bite guard that she wears at night. Seems to work pretty well.

When I met my wife some 20 years ago, she carried cards around in her wallet that said "Your story has touched my heart, never before have I come across a person with more trouble than you. My heart bleeds for you. Please accept this card as a token of my sympathy. Now f*** off and annoy someone else." I found a sample at: http://www.strangecosmos.com/content/item/102480.html[^] My apologies if this annoys somebody (not really) DR

I scare them off with my geeky, tense pressed voice, then enjoy counting the seconds - even minutes - of embarassing silence unless they feel compelled to make conversation. Works like a charm.

My girlfriend suffers with TMJ; she has a mouthguard & has regular massage therapy sessions which have generally kept the pain under control. However she has recently starting with acupuncture & this has been the most successful treatment yet, she will often go for days after completely pain-free. Day to day she swims & has said this also helps. The common thread with all these being to relax the muscle tensions in the head, neck, shoulders & back. As for the other, I would try grunting unresponsively or just ignoring the chatter with an "oh I'm sorry I missed that" if necessary. They'll soon get the message.

Ask Chatty if she heard the Mark Levin show last night. Start talking about your political views... guarenteed to clear any room.

What is TMJ ? I work from home, isolated from the outside world. When I go to physio, I look forward to having a conversation.

I had a guy I worked with that was his own punishment. It was a summer job while in highschool, packaging triple mix (manure, soil, lime). The guy whouldn't shutup, and always had a mouthful of the "sh**" literally :laugh: It was a challenge not to laugh, but keeping my mouth closed was its own insentive.

Ouch, yeah me too. I only discovered it recently. I've been feeling sick most of my life because I didn't know about it. They used to force me to drink milk in school and I would always resist, but never knew why. Anyway, there are a lot of soy products now that are much better than they used to be. Here's the stuff I really like: http://www.tastethedream.com/[^] I can't really help you with your original question though. I am one of the chatty people... I can't help it. It is something I have to do... but I do have a good sense of when it's annoying the other person and they really don't want to talk.

This only works if they don't already know you, but learn enough sign language to fake it. Then pretend to be deaf. It's helped me in the line at the store a couple of times. You do, however, run the risk that they'll start signing back.
