Talking about yourself to others?

When I go out or meet people, even at work in casual conversations, I find that people like to talk about themselves. Not that its a bad thing, I enjoy listening to other people talk about themselves. But I don;t find myself talking about myself much. I know that people can take it over board and such. But do girls like it when you talk about yourself? I'd rather ask questions about the other person and relate to their side of the subjects they are talking about. Its rare that someone wants to find out about myself. How could you make yourself interesting to others?

    You dont have to talk about yourself all the time to be interesting. Because people like to talk about themselves, asking questions about them looks very good on you. You are view as an others centered person. I'm sure sometimes you find a place to tell about your personal experiences when the subject.comes up. So just let the conversation take you there, if it doesn't just keeping asking questions about the other person. The key is to have a good balance of talking about yourself and getting to know others. Too much of either can be a bad thing. If something interested happened to you recently, that is a good way to spark up a conversation. It's not something to worry about. Just be who you are and have fun talking to people. :)
