I am the center of everything

Yes, I am. I got mad when people do not notice me and walk by. Hey, I am here and I am so dam* important that you cannot just walk by. Still, I am trying to step in the other shoes and feeling what they really feel seeing a person like me, so I am trying not to mind anymore.

my father is that person. he feels we will all die without him, even if i dont ask anything from him and even if i work for my own. he feels that we are all stupid and he is the one who is intelligent. he feels that we need to ask him before we do or buy something. we dont talk much so i really dont care anymore on what he says after all its all just boasting. on the other hand i sometimes joke to my wife that self centered thing. she laughs then say shut up har har har.

I believe that self centeredness is one of the common traits of all mankind and that it is the cause of most problems we have in our lives!

I know several people like this...they are constantly talking about them selves and have to interupt people in converstations just to interject something about themselves...it gets very sickening.

I think both of my brothers are married to women like that. I try not to be that way, but sometimes it can't be helped. If I need something done, I push it as much as I can. I always try to help other people as much as I can.

The wife of my husband's brother has this kind of personality. In fact I called Lady Psycho. Am I so mean? She's selfish and also wants that everything in her or about her is beautiful. She's so insecure, I hate her because I don't something to her and don't talk to her but she's always spreading hate campaign against me. I understand how she fell this way. Maybe because she's only a high school graduate, or maybe she doesn't want us to improve our means of livelihood. If she hears people praise me she doesn't want to hear it; especially my kids. Her kids are not doing well in school so maybe she'll resented my children excelled in their class. Isn't she also a self-centered person.

It doesn't matter whether self-centered or whether moderate, in my point of viewing the case, there are many self-centered persons shared useful info with high altruism moral. The only thing is they like much standing on the authoritative side on sharing. Yes! I am one of them being tagged by many as self-centered. In reality, I am sharing the basic principle of solution which is something or somewhat they never heard. Then later after few months, they came back and mine was true and through. We're human being, we'll never get off from life principle. Unfortunate people working with their energy, fortunate people working with their brain, smart people use both of them to be more richer. Smart people always implementing self-centered.

That's me! Maybe for about nine or ten hours a day at work I'm "it" - the head honcho, the big enchilada(?), in control of everything, nothing gets past me, through me or around me without me knowing about it... & then I get home & I'm a great big zero & my wife takes over! Oh yes, I consider her alright... she's the gem & I'm supposed to be the setting to make her shine. So yes, there's some sort of a balance there I guess, or at least a difference of two extremes, but that's me

Yes, I do sometime feel that way too. Because I have received some recognitions there are times when I go overboard and make myself top of everything. But I too feel guilty doing it. So I guess this is but a natural human reaction unless it is too much. Anything too much is bad, isn't it?

Yup, I've encountered so many self-centered people, most of them I met at work. One of my bosses is like that, he thinks that he knows everything and he has this attitude that will really make you feel so stupid, because of the way he treat his subordinates.

I am sometimes guilty of that too. I do sometimes think i am better than that person and i can do better than anyone, if given the chance. I guess, each and everyone of us has that feeling in one way or another. Sometimes, it's better to be that way too in order to keep yourself from getting better so no one could beat you. But nobody wants to be with a self centered person.

oh god i can not avoid thinking that those better ones here are only second to those who wants to be the center of every thing here. and so when it comes to compensation, the latter, self-centered ones are the winners. i know that the better ones have the higher productivity rating than the self-centered people. in terms of net satisfaction ratings, the better ones are much better off. when we look at the survey the better ones has the higher percentage of approval all over the world. but the better ones are the number 1 underpaid workers all over the world. i hate to see and hear this although i am not their kind of nationality but my "apellido" which is Gonzalez, is very common to them... and i know more of them has as i do have in my country. i am in favor to them but the management just do not see them as they are just them with God Fearing attitude. now, i think bidding is an ideal way to be heard. or, it is also a diplomatic way to ask a favor. of course staria, if you'll ask me, i don't agree to blood suck or be a leech to get a favor in exchange of our well being. i don't want it to happen and learn it from other's experience. i asked them why don't they just do as the other nationalities does and they answered me, if it is for us, God will mediate. well if, i were to stand on their shoes too, the same answer they will hear from me.. and so, thanks for being a catholic. thanks

HELLO my friend,as for my character i refuse to be in contact with serious self-centered people.of course,like what you said,you always consider your part about your relationship.i think it is normal for a person,but acting properly is important!

im lack with self confidence so i really don't consider the "me" part, there where times when other people praise me or say something good to me i easily will turn red and be shy and speechless. but i have lots of friends being proud with themselves and it doesn't matter for me as long as there is something about you to be proud of. besides if you can't put yourself up nobody will ever does :)

Well yes I am. Oh wait...

Hi Staria, i also feel that when i come to home. i am a mother here and ruled and often i want my kids to obey me cause i know everything than them. i know that i have to change this method of leading. kids won't want a bossy mother

I feel, my husband is very selfish. My husband always feels right, and do not want to be blamed. I must always obey, what my husband said, and I can not argue. However, my husband says that I'm selfish. Since I denied his words. And finally, I have to give in, and obey, what my husband wanted.

well balancing things in life is very important sometimes i also feel like that as you do but i try to keep quiet and take some time to access what is happening around me.Sometimes we have to care for that also.

Hey hey staria ;) Ofcourse I am encounter self - centred people I hate these people. They think the world turns around them. Other people are not for them people, they are support personnel. I do not know how to live with these people, I avoid them, because I do not like to have support personnel I am sweet and friendly, I just not know how to be hideous bi**h.

Hi! I have probably been guilty of this a little, but I noticed myself doing this and am not way less self centered, but it also makes me notice in with friends, some being worse than others. I agree that a few feel that they are always the ones who know what's really going on and act like you don't know a thing, and this is an insult to my intelligence! I think they like being right all the time and have trouble being corrected. I like to think that I correct others in a positive manner, not even telling them that they are "bad" just a part of their behavior is temporarily "Bad" that seems to get them to respond better to my criticism. I am sometimes on top of things and sometimes not, but I would say that at least I can admit when I am not. I too, like to keep a positive balance!
