| 13 Traits Of Self-Centered People You Should Watch Out For. |
Picture this, you have been in a relationship for a few months, and you begin to notice your new boyfriend spends a lot of time talking about himself and his accomplishments.
Your beautiful new girlfriend seems to look around every room she enters. Full of herself, she waits for heads to turn and approving looks to come her way..
When you share a success or an exciting event in your life, inevitably the conversation turns to your partner's self-absorption with their achievements or more thrilling adventures.
He or she is self-centered!!!
Their massive ego needs your constant approval, accolades, and attention, but they rarely return those gifts to you. It has become a one-man or one-woman show in which your partner is the leading character, and you are merely the supporting cast or cheering audience.
No one likes self-centeredness, especially if you are spending the majority of your time with them. Self centered people can suck the life out of you, as you do backflips to prop up their egos and insatiable need for reinforcement.
What does being self-centered mean?
When you encounter a person like this they tend to be consumed with their own thoughts and concerns. They are not good at actively listening to others or curious enough to ask conversational questions. They lack empathy and interest in you and tend to make you feel insecure and unimportant.
If you are a kind, empathic, and giving a person, you might give a self-centered person a lot of grace. You might think you just need to give more, praise more, and be more accepting so that you'll receive a few crumbs of approval yourself.
At first, you may mistake your partner's self-absorption for confidence, high self-esteem, and positivity. You may not recognize at first that this pulled-together, attractive, and self-absorbed personality is really a narcissist in the making.
Here are 13 traits of self-centered people you should watch out for:
1. They have strong opinions.
2. They hide their insecurities and vulnerabilities.
3. They always view themselves as better than others, including you.
4. They abuse their friendships.
5. They have very little empathy for others.
6. They are more concerned with superficial qualities than character.
7. They are disinterested in your day.
8. They interrupt you when you are talking.
8. They aren't interested in activities that interest you.
10. They set a lot of rules.
11. They make accusations.
12. They assume you are always available.
13. They prioritize themselves ahead of the relationship.
Do you have a self-centered person in your life?
Is your partner so selfish that they believe you don't have a life beyond his or her needs? If so, it's time to reassess whether you want this person in your life.
If you feel that you are just a supporting player in your partner's one-man show and that your needs are constantly put on the back burner, then you might consider letting go of that relationship.
Find someone who will cherish you, listen to you, and tend to your needs as readily as they tend to their own.
