I sort of relate.

my life is, compared to most people, boring

I don't vacation

I don't go out with friends to the movies or the mall

I didn't make it through school, so can't really talk about that

I don't have a relationship and I don't have kids

I have no plans for the future

usually, the words talk about yourself mean to me well, talk about your issues- and then I start talking about the abuse I suffered, the bipolar, the anxiety, the physical pain, I then realise that people don't want to be hearing about that stuff (they want to hear good positive stuff about me), so I just shut up.
