Absolutely, but this comes down to individual characteristics. It isn't a universal geek characteristic - or even a universal characteristic of certain types of geek. I've had very interesting conversations with geeks on subjects I know nothing about - because they were able to make it interesting and took an interest in having a conversation and not delivering a a soliloquy.
Admittedly, a tendency to be unaware of the suffering of others during your conversations may be more prevalent amongst geeks than everyone else...
