It feels like I talk about myself more than anyone on here

Especially during debates/arguments; but also a ton when I'm giving advice.

I always get paranoid about looking egocentric or simple-minded or like I'm making up stories to support my shit.

But just now, I've wondered, and made this thread to see if anyone else experiences anything similar, or if I'm being crazy or whatnot.

Sometimes I feel like a lot of people come here to live shadow lives or something, and maybe that's why they don't talk about themselves more..

 

haha i feel the same, everytime I give someone advice and find myself overusing the word "I" I (there I go again..and again) start to wonder if I'm being egocentric and focusing on myself too much.

From personal experience in real life, however, i have to say that if you're worrying about appearing self-centered, chances are you are not self-centered in the least. Truly egocentric people rarely realize just how egocentric they are.

 

Haha, my social anxiety is spilling onto my Internet life!

 

I talk about myself a lot, too. I'm trying to come to terms with the fact that I just do that and that's just who I am and some people may not find that a redeemable quality. Haha.

 

All I know about you is you were a grunge fanatic coming out the womb and have trouble making your girlfriend orgasm.

 

lol this, and you write poetry. I don't think you talk about yourself too much duck. I feel like people on here know way too much about me, i should probably tone it down a bit.

 

You forgot about my small dick, unemployment, and living with my mommy (while we're making me sound so impressive) :afro:

Well, I think we are all probably suffering from a case of bias. We know everything we write but we forget that each person is only reading this or that chunk.

 

haha you are awesome. I am impressed.

 

Aw, Duck, if it makes you feel better, I don't think about the negative stuff when I think about you.

 

No way! You forgot someone.

 

Ahh-it's interesting to find out what people think of others and themselves. I talk about myself too much,but fuck it.

 

I could never get enough of talking about myself. My mirror says I'm cute...:iagree:

Same here.

I don't think you talk about yourself too much Duck. I was thinking the same thing a few days ago about myself so I dedicated a whole day just to reading posts. Now I'm back to blabbing about myself again.

 

I still think about chainmail when I think of you =D

 

Actually I did not forget, I was unaware of your unemployment and small dick.

 

The way I see it-it's human nature to talk about yourself.
I never have read any of your posts, Duck and thought geez this guy talks about himself alot.

You also are in the midst of making some key life decisions, so talking about it is a positive (imho) and doesn't come across egocentric. Please continue to post away.

 

Well, now you've been warned - hopefully you won't pursue me in light of this information :sultan:

 

I tend to share opinions or experiences with some fellow posters probably more than others.

Since I would rather not do negative if it is avoidable or be in a position of answering in a way that at that point would be nonproductive, sometimes it is just better to not share.

 

I purposely reveal as little as possible about myself.

Not that there's anything wrong with talking about yourself, it's probably a good way to build personal relationships on here, but I'd rather the miscreants of this place didn't know too much about me.

 

i try to avoid going into so much detail that i become easily identifiable, but i also know a lot more about myself than anyone else so it just seems logical that i talk more about my own experiences than those of other people.

duck, i've never noticed you talking about yourself any more than average. you might mention your girlfriend more than anyone else though.
