I'm not the kind of guy that likes being at the center of the conversation, but I'm always willing to listen people's stories, their sufferings. To discuss happiness or sadness.
This makes me that kind of friend a lot of people like to talk to.
The point is, I suffer this terribly. People just like to talk about themselves, always with their "me, me, me, mine," etc.
People are just monkes fallen in love with a mirror.
