They sure love talking about themselves

Most people around me sure love talking about themselves during casual conversations as if their life story were so amazing. When I try to sneak in something about my life in the middle of their story which kinda similar to their stories, I can see the sudden obvious disinterest through their body languages. They will start looking at their watches, clock on the wall, smartphones or yawning.

It makes me wonder how people can be so self-absorbed and have no shame, thinking everything in their lives just revolve around them.

I always try to identify and judge what sort of people they're by how they talk during conversations and treat them which they prefer best so I keep asking questions about them until they run out of things to tell about their lives.

If you're this kind of person, please be humble and stop this behaviour.

    In fairness if you’re cutting someone off mid story I can see why they would be annoyed.

      So me getting annoyed by their behaviour first doesn't matter? How is it fair when I expect proper conversation for each sides but getting stucked with the self-absorbed one most of the time?

      I cut them off since they never seem to shut up talking about themselves. I don't even have a leeway to talk about mine most of the time and even when I finally have the chance to, they show those obvious disinterest body languages and proceed to cut mine instead. Cutting them off mid way is more like observing how they talk to people at this point.

        I'm the youngest of...well, a lot of siblings. I can relate. Trying to get a word in during conversations with some of the siblings is next to impossible. I can be in the middle of a story and then they'll interrupt and start talking over me as if they we'd just been sitting in silence for the last minute
