I can literally remember one occasion I have used it in the last month, and I remember thinking it felt funny coming out of my mouth, as I almost never have a need to say it.

(it was 「私ですか」 as in the conversation I was having with several people I wanted to confirm the question was addressed to me)

I am not sure "what kind" of people use 私 all the time, but it's overuse is commonly associated with foreigners speaking Japanese.
