Thoughts
The weird thing about “people like talking about themselves” is that I don’t like talking about myself. I don’t like sharing etc. But I’m
capable of talking about myself, whereas I’m not capable of talking about football or cars or country music or your girlfriend or any of the other things that you might want to talk about. So if you’re interested in my life and I can talk about it, than that’s what we talk about.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are things I want to talk about, like programming or *The Count of Monte Cristo* that you’re not interested in, or that I’m not capable of talking normally about, on account of my caring to much.
