I have a family guest that is staying with me for 21 days, I knew before hand that he is annoying;however, not the degree of his annoyance. He talks non stop, eben when we are eating. Most of his talks are nonesense or about himself and his life ( to the smallest detail). I cannot take it anymore, I sleep on the sofa and had not even a good sleep for a week. He might even stay more (God help me if that happens). What should I do?
My family, who lives in the same town as this guy wants me to be nice to him

PS: I am alone in this town, so nobody can take him in.

You allowed him to stay. So, just put up with his stupidity for the 21 days. But, NO LONGER. And, never let him stay again-ever.

I feel your pain. Let me tell you from experience that you WILL get through it, and you will be a better human being at the end of the 21 day visit.
Have you considered returning the favor? Why don't you just talk about mindless nonsense to him? Perhaps he will sense that his own babble must be very painful.

I feel sorry for you. It's not easy, especially if it's family. Why did you agree to having him, if you knew this about him? If it gets unbearable find a reason not to come home after work till late. Or if it was me, I would just tell him outright that he talks to much. Good Luck!

If you are old enough to drive, I'd keep very busy the next month. Find something to do everyday, and beat it out of the house in the morning before he wakes up and wants to come along.

I would request that your family put him up for some nites.
So that you can at least get some rest............to be able to cope with him during the day. Do you have a job to go to?
Also how about going to see some movies. One should NOT talk during a movie. That would surely be a blessing to you!
Convince your parents that you could be liable for smothering him with a pillow during the nite.........to preserve your sanity.
Perhaps they will come to your rescue! :)

You have to tell him strait buddy, if he's gonna be staying, you have to tell him that you want peace in your home... Guest doesn't mean abuser ! This is your house and if he wants to stay, he better follow your rules, under your roof, including not bothering you at dinner time, or he's gonna have to leave... I have a lot of ppl(my wife's friends) or friends coming in my house, and they all know, no exceptions, that's it's my ways in my house, take it or leave it ! Be diplomatic, but at the end of the day, YOU'RE THE BOSS ! ! !

Call the family and tell them they better come and get him. You've done your part to be nice now they can do their part and be nice to and invite him to stay with them for awhile. They need to set the example and show you just how nice they are.
