Conversation Hogs

I find several things very annoying when having a conversation with someone else. At the top of that list is: not being aware that you are taking up all the air in the room during a conversation because you won't let anyone else get a word in edge wise. The definition of conversation: the informal exchange of ideas by spoken words. The key word there is exchange. I don't enjoy sitting and listening to others tell me all of their ideas the entire time. I want to be engaged and share my thoughts as well!
