You're making the same mistake as the person you are criticizing: Assuming that most people feel the same way you do about speaking vs listening.
As always, it depends on what the person needs. It seems like you are a person who needs others to answer back and you feel like you are "giving" and the other is "taking" if you are talking and they aren't.
Many feel the opposite. Listening is giving and talking is taking.
For a lot of people talking is much easier than listening. You just say whatever comes into your head.
Neither of you are more correct. Personally, I hate it when either person monologues. Both people talking is preferred. But that is just a preference.
