Being conscious of this (that people like to talk about themselves) also sometimes give me anxiety when the person with whom I'm conversing asks a lot about me. While I'm happy to answer, after a few responses I start to get worried I'm talking to much. I'm never sure if they want a non-response like "good" or if they want a "real" response that involves detail.
