Sometimes when I do not know what to say to someone I will ramble on and on about myself. It is not that I’m self-centered, it is just that I have no idea what to say to make things better and silence can be so uncomfortable. Also, most people feel that misery loves company, maybe they think if you see the struggles they are going through your own will not seem so big. They could also be trying not to make you self-conscious. Try to be a little proactive. Next time just say “I would really love to hear about what is going on in your life, but I need to talk about me for a minute.”
