Is it me, but whatever happened to engaging conversation?

I've noticed over time that somehow or another I get in "conversations" with folks where it's all one sided...for example, "hi how are you?" (them)..."just fine, getting over my broken toe."(me)...and 20 minutes later I'm still listening to the time they broke their toe...gosh, I don't want to interrupt seeing as how I'm trying to be perfect! but whatever happened to an exchange of conversation and information...I remember having friends where we would progress through myriad subjects by the Q&A method...conversations could take hrs!

the only thing I can think of is that nowadays everybody is trying hard not to give offense, to be PC...but it sure makes for boring conversations! or horror of horrors, are there just a lot of bores out there?
