there is a girl I know who just keeps talking about herself like what she did, where she went,etc but never ever asks about others
questions about themselves..is it her way of expressing her freindship by sharing details about herself or is she plainly a cold person?

She's too into herself...

She may not be aware of it. Obviously trying to impress others is a sign of self-esteem issues.
When this has happened to me in the past I have (after so many attempts of trying to talk about myself) learned to say something like, "Wow, you certainly have had a lot of experiences - I guess I just haven't been as lucky as you." Get up and walk away, don't wait for a response.This usually stops her brain and reminds her that she is bragging, not sharing. The next time she sees you she will be more apt to ask a question rather than share information.

People who constantly feel a need to talk abut themselves tend to suffer from low self-esteems. They think that by talking about themselves, it will somehow "boost" thier image.
A person who is truly interested in you, will ask questions, listen before speaking, really care about your opinions, etc. It does not sound as though this person has the emotional capacity to do that. Too bad for her. It is such a waste to be so self-centered. You end up a really lonely person.

Maybe she figures talking about herself is the most interesting topic she knows. They usually become very boring people to be around, so if you plan on being friends or more- develop patience and try break into conversation once in while to show you're still awake!

Well based solely on the info you told me about her she seems to like to hear her self talk and also she may be a little selfish. I don't know this girl so I do not know how true this is... but generally when you are friends with someone you care about what there day was like... and not just telling the story of yourself.

She might be self-centered or maybe just immature. Selfish might be more serious because it may bedifficult to change if that's very ingrained in her personality. If she's just immature, being gently coaxed into a more conversational exchange, (xxxx about me, so how was your day) might get her to be more conscious of life being a two way street.

She may just be socially retarded...don't hold it against her. Maybe she's just trying to relate.
I think I do the same thing, but not to be vain or anything...I was never good in social situations, so I don't really know what to say, you know? If someone is telling me about something they did/saw/heard, I try to relate a story of mine just to show I'm listening and understanding...

maybe she is just a really happy person who is proud of what shes done, seen etc. these things may excite her, and she thinks they will excite others as well. maybe she talks about herself to get other peoles attention in hopes that they will like her and be drawn to her because all of her experiences. it could be that shes self absorbed, or she could be reaching out for approval/ attention.

It's possible that she is a little underconfident and needs to prove to you that she is cool/bright/worth hanging with. I know lots of people like this and I've learnt over time that people who keep talking about themselves are actually very insecure and are dying to make you like them... :)

It sounds like it's all about "HER" and she doesn't care about others. Not a good way to be, because in time she will lose her friends. They will get tired of it. Someone needs to try confronting her and make her see what she is doing. If she doesn't care then it's time to move on and find a new friend. Good Luck
