I definitely understand your inability to talk about yourself. Even though intellectually I understand that I enjoy hearing about other people's interests and lives, it is really distinctly difficult to distill an answer to questions about myself or things I have done from my conscious and subconscious in a way that doesn't sound worthless and uninteresting...to me, in my head, before I say it. So instead the answer is "nothing, really." The thing you have to do to get past this is realize that those underlying half-fleshed-out answers that you discard do have value to the other person and it's socially better to polish those up and present them than to say "I don't know".

I also grew up in a household with almost no music apart from soundtracks. If you want to like more music, it is a good idea to identify what kinds of music you enjoy in a soundtrack and seek out similar stuff. This used to be so much effort that I didn't see the point, but Spotify is cheap and makes genre exploration really easy.
