I’ve been in groups in which the conversation seems to require someone dominate the conversation in order to lead it to somewhere interesting. Of course, its nice if that person finds a way to get other involved...but conversation in many groups does not flow at all without someone driving it and, therefore, sometimes seeming as if they are dominating (at least to some people). Sitting in a group of people who can’t keep a conversation going can be just as frustrating as someone who can’t shut up.
There’s a chance that the rest of the group really likes listening to the talker.
Good point.
