I can see that incessantly talking about what interests me can be very boring to others and to be a good conversationalist I try to talk about what interests others. I look to find common interests and not launch into a monologue.
Oh dear, you're explanation is just too reasonable, just makes too much sense...LOL.... listen to new folks you meet, talk some, listen much, and try to find some clues to common interests: grand kids who joined the military and you are a veteran, golf of course, symphony, boating, trying area restaurants outside the villages ? If you can't find anything, just don't from a close friendship !
