How soul destroying is it when you meet up with some people, sometimes you haven't seen them in ages, sometimes it was more recent, but you come away with one realisation.  They spent the entire time talking about themselves.  Not once did they ask about you, your life or anyone in your life.  Just what is it with some people?  Are they honestly so full of self importance, love the sound of their own voice?  However much they might have going on in their life, it surely only takes a couple of seconds to think 'oh hold on, someone's here with me'.  Jeez.
