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.
