Do you hate to talk about yourself?

[Rise Against]

When ever i talk about myself i always feel like im bragging, even though Im not.

 

[lurknomore]

Yeah, I kind of feel the same way- or that I'm boring people to death with details they don't want to know.

It's complicated. Without my SA I do like to, my personality disorders make me talk about myself for hours, I could go on for days. When Iam in this state of SA I try to avoid of talking about myself for reasons like sounding iam bragging yea or boring people to death or annoying them coz I can't talk about anything else than me

I think I like to talk about myself to coz Iam scared of asking the wrong questions, and get responses then like it's none of your business or shit like that

I think that I tend to talk about myself too much. I find it hard to relate to other people and don't really care about their lives as horrible as that sounds because it means nothing to me. So yeah, I do get really scared that I talk too much about myself. I think that people are getting bored, and don't want to hear about my life, or that I'm bragging. I have no clue how to talk about myself without coming across as arrogant.

 

[freestylemonster]

I feel exactly the same, like every time I start talking about myself I feel like I'm bragging or something. I prefer to ask questions and stuff about whoever I'm talking to

I really don't talk about myself much to anyone. But when I do I occasionally feel what you guys are saying...though not always.

Kind of, but when I talk about myself I am definitely NOT braggin'!! I mean look - I AM TALKING ABOUT MYSELF RIGHT NOW!! I I I I I I I I. I don't know what else to say, so it's weird. I feel like when I say "I" too much that I am talking about myself too much. People like to talk about themselves though, it's perfectly fine. It only gets annoying if they won't shut the hell up anout them and their life etc etc. Anyways, enough with all the weirdo talk.

Uhmm, if I do talk about myself it's usually something really vague, or something like "My foot is itchy". I pretty much never ever tell people about me, or about who I am and whatnot. That for me is like a total secret, I sometimes feel that I don't even know myself. When I do talk about myself though, I do always feel like I'm talking about myself too much. Like right now for example!

 

[nephatitus]

please, im boring

lets talk about yourself

 

[DontSleepOnMe]

Ah wrong forum, to confused

 

[gsmax5]

I like to talk about myself only to people I know will love me regardless of what I say.

 

[Off The Wall]

yes, i feel like i'm being selfish or something, or like i'm talking about myself too much and taking over the convo with me and not listening to them enough. and every time they say something and i relate it back to me i feel horrible like im not giving them a chance to talk about them its just me me me!!

haha, not that i talk about myself often but heck when i get the chance and i'm like sweet i can actually talk about that cause i've been there or done that or whatever, but yes i do feel extremely selfish for talking about myself.

Thats how i am too. There are only like 5 people other than my family that know the real me.

 

[newbie]

i use to get nervous as soon i started speaking anything relating to me including the word i, or is that a letter?

anyway
usually when i talk to myself, i for some reason have someone else that is asking me questions and i answer. its so weird, i ask myself a question then answer it, i suppose its a sign of lonlyness or wanting attention? i'm not sure

 

[Ashleigh]

I just feel like an idiot.

 

[CastlesInTheSky]

Yeah, SA makes me absolutely loathe talking about myself. I never, ever, ever share anecdotes or stories with friends; to avoid them asking me about myself, I'll either give them really quick answers and act like I don't want to talk about it, or just ask them a load of questions so they'll take over the responsibility of talking about themselves.

=/ It really stinks.

 

[recluse]

I feel very uncomfortable talking about myself. I really hate it when people put me in an awkward spot by asking me questions.

 

[Doomed2Die]

I feel ok about it, good compared to anything else I could possibly say. Since my illnesses hold so much of my life I have very little else to talk about, and far too much to talk about SA and such.

It's oh so very miserable in retrospec, but it's a great thing to be able to talk about such personal things freely. It does get tiring of course though having to explain to each and everyone person why this and why that in the very limited life I live.

I hate talking about myself because I am such a boring person. The typical questions new people usually ask are "what do you do for fun" or "what are you into." I am into anything Disney related, I like to go on the internet, watch TV and play games....yeah that's pretty much it. And of course there is no way for them to relate to me. Ugh!
