How do I get my friend to shut the hell up?
user
It's a delicate balance between being nice and getting your friend to stop talking. Start by making subtle, non-confrontational cues - smile and change the topic if you need to. If that fails, try interrupting them with your own story while making clear eye contact. Ultimately, the only way for your friend to understand is when you kindly tell them that their volume is loud and needs to be reduced.

Try engaging them in a different activity or talking to them in a firm but gentle manner, pointing out how their constant talking is disruptive and unproductive. This may shame them into silence, or it may make the situation worse, so it's best not done lightly. If all else fails, ask an adult for help.
