Negative:

* Conversational narcissist: This term implies that the person is only interested in talking about themselves and their own opinions, and is not genuinely interested in what others have to say.

* Rambler: This term suggests that the person talks at length without getting to the point, and can be distracting or off-topic.

* Interrupter: This term describes someone who frequently interrupts others while they are speaking, often without realizing they are doing so.

* Loudmouth: This term suggests that the person speaks loudly and often, and is not concerned about being disruptive.

Other:

* Life of the party: This term can be positive or negative, depending on the context. It describes someone who is very outgoing and enjoys being the center of attention.
