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 !

Agree
My daughter yesterday call my grandson the “Chosen One” because I just think he is the best 🤣😂🤣😂

Every family loves their children. Every family thinks theirs are special. Every family lives in Lake Woebegon, where all the women are beautiful, all the men are strong and all the children are special. (Apologies to Garrison Keillor)
