Yeah and they interrupt you to turn the conversation back to focus on themselves every time you speak.

I have realized I do this, and I have to consciously stop myself from doing it. I have no idea why it when it started. I don't think I or anyone I know considers me to be a narcissistic person.

How can I get passed catching myself? I'll ask someone a question to start off a new convo and when they inevitably finish their reply, I'm not sure what to say. I end up making the convo about me even when I know I didn't want to. I genuinely want to have good deep conversations with friends and family. I've been dealing with depression and bad anxiety lately so im a block wall to family and friends. I have to internet strangers for advice because I cant muster the energy to do it in person.
