Anyone else hate talking about themselves?

[Lucky Bolt 35,217]

I’m okay talking about myself but I’m never the first one to bring “me“ up in conversation. It takes people having to pull my teeth before learning anything about me.  In real life I’m a very ”keep to myself” sort of person. 

[Longhaul 8,063]

It depends.  If there's something bothering me, I'll confide it to a trusted friend. but otherwise I don't find anything interesting about myself to talk about.

I don't hate talking about myself. I could do it all day. I generally don't bother though and I find it somewhat pointless. Most people have no idea I've lived in countries all over the world.

Yeah. But my reason is I don't like talking in general. Unless I have to explain something, the only things I say are "hi, thanks, bye". And that's totally enough, no one expects more anyway.

Writing is different, though. I can take my time, think about the topics that are interesting to me and reply with honest feelings.

I have a habit of talking to myself during heavy work. Sometimes I with I could just be silent, but I cannot afford to bite off my tongue, so I have to remind myself what I am doing.

I won't talk about myself to people I don't really know, unless they ask me about it. I am perfectly fine talking about myself with friends and family.

I love talking about myself lol but I also like to listen to what others have to say 

[Rainbow Cloud 19,050]

I don't really like talking about myself much, I'm pretty shy but there also not really that much to say either, most days I don't really do anything that interesting.

Yeah cause I usually feel stupid or narcissistic about it

But you have such a good voice, it doesn't matter!

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,501]

I don’t like talking too much about myself because I feel it’s boring to listen to and I don’t want to be a me monster.

There is this new pony character in Pony Life that looks like he is talking to himself all the time

I'll be honest, I actually love talking about myself.

Honestly same.

I'm very uncomfortable talking myself. Obviously you have to do it sometime, but I never enjoy it and I always be very cautious what I tell people about myself. Well .. except my passion of tea of course :>

I enjoy talking about myself to an extent. Like lecturing people about my interests. If you ever go to an aviation museum with me? I will happily tell you about every single aircraft they have in as much detail as you could ever want. You wanna know something about Jerma or Evangelion? Congrats you have your own personal Jerma and Evangelion lore master right here.

I'm the same, but with D&D. Want to learn how to play from scratch, hope you have the rest of your day open because I'm teaching D&D on the spot. I don't mind talking about myself, it's how people can know me better, and that's always nice. I also love hearing about other people and their day, however mundane it seems to them. I just like talking with people.

Yeah usually I don't like talking about myself, nothing interesting about me anyways.

[ZiggWheelsManning 13,120]

I think about myself, but don't necessarily talk about myself  

[Lawyer Slip 3,016]

Absolutely. I hate talking about myself because I try not seem like an ego-maniac, so my conversations are usually more focused on other things or people. I also have low self-esteem as a result of this
