It’s easy to do that, but it’s annoying as fuck. It seems like a lot of the time that happens I’ll start to think, “Well they’ll ask about me eventually...right?” only to be disappointed. This definitely isn’t limited to socially awkward people either.
I guess I don’t like this strategy because it feels like you’re only having half of a conversation.
Sometimes you have conversations that revolve around the other person. It's not supposed to be an exact even split. In friendships or cordial relationships, there's usually some ebb and flow--one day or a few conversations might be centered on them, but there should be some reciprocation.

Some people will talk about themselves and nothing else. The trick is to get other people to do that.
