For those who can't stop sharing their opinion, I have noticed that they also have another problem. They insist on defending their opinion even when it's not being attacked. The person I am mainly talking about doesn't even realise he's doing it, but as soon ass an opposing opinion peeks over the horizon he whips out his sniper (I'm talking figuratively) and shoots it down while it's still an undeveloped little thought. He doesn't realise he's being an angry person it's just the way he is, and I know for a fact he's not the only one. For people that are like this you're not going to realise this is like you by reading this, but for others who know a person like this you know what I'm talking about. People like this need to learn to occasionally keep their opinion to themselves.
On the other end of the talkative scale there are the silent people who don't speak their mind. Sometimes these people can be extremely talkative, they just don't say anything that would indicate how they are feeling. People may choose to do this for several reasons like, sparing someones feelings, pretending to be a martyr (Tangent: since when has being a martyr been a bad thing stop using it as an insult people), they're shy, they're nervous about what others will think, or they are trying to make up for when they shot down the other person's opinion. Whatever the reason may be it's usually better to just say what you think. It may suck at the moment you are saying it, no it will suck, but it will be worth it in the end. One exception is if someone has bought an nonreturnable clothing item don't say it looks bad on them even if it does. If they have to keep it anyway there's no point in ruining the outfit for them.
If you're on the other side of the conversation it can be hard to deal with these people. If they can't seem to stop talking first try to interject and explain in a calm voice that they are hurting your feelings, if that doesn't work back away slowly. If you're with someone who never speaks their mind insist on them making the decisions. They'll be annoyed at you at first, but eventually they will get used to sharing their opinion. Happy conversing.

Doctor Who Quote
Sometimes I wonder if the Doctor is bipolar. In this scenario he should probably stop talking, but sometimes he need to say more.
The Doctor: (about to be killed) I hope that knife's been properly sterilized.
Leonard DeVries: Blasphemer!
The Doctor: No, no, you can catch all sorts of things from a dirty knife- lockjaw, tetanus, not to mention staphylococcal infections...
