Odd side-effect

First post here. My nofap journey is going great, except one thing: I'm having trouble listening or paying attention to other people during conversations. I feel like I'm talking about myself too much, having too many tangential thoughts, and dominating conversations. While I'm in the conversation it feels very fluid and comfortable, but looking back it seems narcissistic. Maybe that's just the way conversation is supposed to be, but after ten years of fapping and social anxiety it feels very odd. Almost as though I have no control over what comes out of my mouth. Anybody else have this issue, and how do you avoid being so self-centered?
