It's really hard to stay interested in someone who only talks about themselves... 🫩

Sometimes, when someone only talks about themselves, it can stem from insecurity rather than arrogance. They might be trying to appear interesting, successful, or nice to gain approval or validation, not realising that true connection comes from mutual sharing. In some cases, they may not even be aware they are dominating the conversation. But over time, it becomes exhausting for the other person, because healthy relationships need balance, curiosity, and respect for each other’s voices. Wanting to be heard does not make you needy, it makes you human.

I find on here getting feed back to find out what they are interested in so to find a common ground and get a good conversation going can be hard work. I sometimes have to talk about myself and my life to try and find something they can talk about

It does get monotonous, not to mention making me feel like they wouldn't miss if I just ignore them since they never got to know me. It's usually deep-seated insecurities. They should get a therapist, maybe.

I agree. I have zero qualms ghosting people like that. I used to tolerate it, but now, hell no. You’re not a friend or even an acquaintance to them, you’re just an earpiece for them to brag about themselves.

I will say that some people are so interesting, that I want to hear them talk about nothing but themselves. They’re the exception. 😅
