Shouldn't we generalize that to most people like to talk about themselves?

No. Everyone from the pauper to the priest wants nothing more than to be important, and talk about themselves. It's the only "fact" that I know to hold true for every person I've ever met. Anyone who thinks they're somehow 'altruistic' and don't want to talk about themselves either (a) doesn't have anything interesting about themselves to talk about or (b) are in denial, and haven't actually heard one of their conversations recorded.
