How to be less self centered and interested in others?

Hello,

I have all my life being more interested in myself than others. Some call me ego centered and a bad listener.

My main concerns is that i always try to change the conversation topics towards my interests. I also cant pay attention and become bored easily of other peoples opinions or when its their turn to talk in a conversation. I start to daydream.

I usually am bad at asking questions or genuinely showing interest in other people.

Any self help books or tips on how to improve on this area?

See a therapist you trust to work through your goals....I think that may help.

Also, group therapy!

Its not easy we are born to care about ourselves its called survival. I would suggest you find two or three topics that you hear others talk about at look them up , read about them. Suppose you have no interest in tennis then educate yourself in the basics so you can talk about it.
The problem we all have is taking an interest in a new thing.
