This is the heart of conversational wisdom which is that in group conversations people don't usually want to know the details of one person. Rather, in group conversations each member of the group wants a chance to contribute something to the conversation and offering someting about yourself in terms that each member of the group can relate to is to advance the group conversation. If the group conversation breaks out into smaller conversations, then greater detail might be warranted depending on the inclination and knowledgeability of the participants. But it's a balancing act. So I don't think it's "Sadly, no" at all. It's actually great that you can say something to which people can relate.
