People who talk about themselves all the time​

(this is a repost from Gransnet)

I know one or two people like this. No matter what the topic of conversation they turn it back to themselves and their concerns the whole time. Do people who do this have some kind of compulsion or disorder or are the just hugely lacking in awareness.

In general, the people I know who do this are quite kind beneath it all but just frustrating in their determination to bring things back to themselves all the time.

Some people only listen waiting for their chance to reply, that's not really a good conversation to be a part off, the people that listen and pause, reflect upon what they heard, then start again are far better people to give your time and energy to. Some people have experienced similar things and do have an honest story on the subject, however these appear to be few nowadays, that's sad and also can be annoying. It's your energy being sucked up by these people, choose wisely, lord knows as we age, there is less energy to waste.
