I catch myself doing this from time to time. I try to be conscious of it. But it's usually when I realize I have digressed into something off topic. I'll put unnecessary emphasis on the word "so" as I change the subject.
Also, I had a friend from highschool who aways responded to the phrase "so what" with "sew your pants" so the word is annoying to me on a different level.
And I understand why you'd find it annoying. There are a lot of word choices out there and many ways to put emphasis on a thought. It makes people sound a bit .... trite. But sometimes, the word is so totally useful. :P
Is it normal that I can't stand people over-using the word 'so'?
