People like to talk about themselves especially things that no one else asks about. I think that cultivating a genuine curiosity about other people and their lives is useful, and most importantly: kind. If you are kind, then asking others about what they think and listening to them will result in some enjoyment for you as well. Something to feel proud of. It restores the soul.
Yeah, it didn't for me 30 years ago, too. Like I said, it has to be cultivated. I looked for quick fixes for years and then I got to be like 40 and 50 and it was all "sigh, okay how about medium-time fixes" and so on. The time passes either way.
