Unfortunately, I'm one of those people sometimes.

Mostly I do it because it's the only way I feel like I can show that I relate, or have anything relevant to say.

Like, I don't go off on stories, or anything, I just try and say something that shows that I'm listening or that I understand.

And this post is HIGHLY ironic.

Anyway, what you describe is basically the desire for people to talk about you or what you're going through, which I suppose everybody wants, which is why they talk about themselves. Or maybe it's the only thing they feel sure they're right about when they talk.
