I think using the word "people", by itself, should always mean "in general", or "generally speaking" unless it's literally said that it's meant to represent all people, everywhere, without exception.
That being said, practically everyone likes to talk about themselves- and it's not a negative, ego-driven thing. It's our comfort zone, it's what we know.
Anyhow, ask questions. Get to know her better. Unless you're old pals from back when dirt was invented, you've got several lines of questioning open for you. Just take steady breaths (and not into the phone, or she'll think you're a pervert) and calm yourself. Maybe masturbate before calling her up, get some of that extra testosterone out of your system. And no, I'm not kidding.
