How boring it would be
If we all talked about ourselves
What interest would others have in a conversation
Where every sentence started with me
I know to us, this is a most interesting topic
But to others it begins to pall in a few minutes
So when conversing with others, ask them about them too
So that they also get a chance to talk about me!
➰➰➰

Your prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “me.” Find a word that starts with “me” or use the word “me” as the theme of your post. Have fun!

I try not to talk about myself, as I find that topic boring. I loved your poem, and the song went perfect with it.

My maternal grandmother was the best at asking people about themselves. Then they would go on to say what a fascinating conversationalist she was! : )

Some most certainly do. I find that the ones that do often turn the conversation to themselves whenever possible.💕

Yes! We should always enquire about others, not just be self centred and talk about me, me, me!

I have had so many conversations where the other person talks about nothing but themselves. I wish more individuals were aware of conversation etiquette.
