I'm more than happy to hear people talking about themselves - I just wish people would remember that they've already told me a story before. The third time you hear about someone's school days when they did X, Y and Z can get a bit boring :D
There is a balance to this. If you always only listen to others and never speak about yourself, you fail to build connections with them (because they know nothing about you). I had the opposite problem, I made every conversation about them and had to learn to change that in order to be able to make friends.
The irony.

And yet all your submissions are about yourself to increase traffic to your website. Oh the irony.
To the uninformed these behaviors look like narcissistic personality disorders, but they are not. They are instead multiple hyper-stimulus seeking behaviors devoid of context and patience. Also bear in mind many people are ADHD absent of a diagnosis or diagnosed well into adulthood.
A dating advice, for a guy, is "70/30"; Let her speak 70%, you speak 30%. People really like to share their own knowledge because that is their comfort zone, especially about themself. When I throw a few cocktails back, I can get too comfortable with ranting, so I try to stfu every couple minutes to let others take the reins just in case I'm being overzealous (which is also embarrassing).
