Telling people what your background is, what your likes and dislikes are, is part of the give and take of conversation. It's how we get to know people.
People will enjoy the conversation more if they see you are presenting yourself as someone who's enjoying it, too, whether you consider yourself their equal or not.
Remember that the person you are talking to is probably as shy as you are.
People love to be talked to about themselves. Ask questions that other persons will enjoy answering. Encourage them to talk about their accomplishment.
