I think the balance is the conversation partner should be trying to ask more about you... it's a shared responsibility, and if they don't it equally means that they don't care about knowing more about you. If they're asking about you but you're giving minimal personal responses and redirecting the conversation back to them though, yeah. And you can drop hooks for them to ask more about even while talking about them - like "Did you have any trouble getting through Y? I had trouble with X there a couple times before" There are plenty of bad conversationalists out there though, and I sometimes wonder if it's worth the effort of forcing a totally one sided conversation the other way.
