I also tell myself regularly, "It's not all about you!"
Seriously.

I know that at times when I'm feeling rather shy or lacking in confidence that it's because I've become self-absorbed, it's all me, me, me, me, me.

Concentrate on other people and what they're saying - that way everyone thinks you're a great listener.

Sadly I also like the sound of my own voice rather too much. I also find my jokes utterly hilarious - for example, at the last London bash I went to I was near on wetting myself with a terrible pun about DJTrialPrice having Stockholm syndrome (he'd just flown back from there) - I couldn't even tell people why I was crying with laughter because I was....crying with laughter.

*sigh*
