Bore, n.: A person who talks when you wish him to listen.

Summary

This quote defines a "bore" as someone who fails to understand the appropriate moments for speaking and listening. In social situations, there are times when individuals seek a listening ear and empathetic presence, rather than someone consistently capturing the spotlight with their own words. A bore disregards this dynamic and tends to monopolize conversations, hindering the opportunity for others to express themselves and be heard.
