[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in the Midwest now, grew up in the south, have also lived on both coasts. I don’t think this is a regional thing at all. It’s just a thing w people who are a) rude, b) incurious, and/or c) socially awkward/don’t understand basic social cues. Those people exist in every region but in my personal experience, people were most likely to be that way on the east coast.[/quote]

Off the top of my head I can think of 3 people who are like OP describes where they will go on and on about themselves but not ask about you:
My dad, in his 70s and has lived in the South his whole life
My SIL, in her 30s and grew up in NJ but now lives in the Midwest
My friend, in her 30s and lives in DC but grew up on the west coast

^^leads me to agree it’s not a regional thing

For a counter example, the most curious inquisitive, engaging people I know who do not talk about themselves hardly at all and always find a way to turn the conversation back to the other person:
My MIL who grew up in CA and now lives in the Midwest.
My friend who is from Boston and now lives in NC[/quote]
