sorry rocknrolla, dont mean to hijack your thread but i have recently been encoutering a similar problem

a very close friend of mine is a natural pua even if he doesn’t know it but only when he is pissed.
I find it highly difficult to compete with, I mean its funny as hell and awesome to watch him actually run around the room chewing ears off, but when he notices myself in a set he feels the need to intervene which is not the problem,
The problem is that my friend just doesn’t shut up, talks and talks and if I talk he talks louder, the set either appoints him centre of attention or disperses.
I don’t know how to handle it, I can’t confront him because its not his fault, its just who he is. I love the guy to bits so don’t what to risk jeopardising any of our friendship.
