Why do some very intelligent people like to talk so much about themselves to people who obviously do not merit such confidence? For, as Voltaire once said, “la terre est couverte de gens qui ne méritent pas qu’on leur parle.”
Nietzsche the psychologist has an answer which seems to explain this ostensible weakness: “Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.”
…To which I might add just this follow-up question: ...From oneself?
