Special Attention to a Self-Centered Person?

I often think of me like that. I mean, when you asked for a self-centered person, my first thought was me. :) Whenever you start a discussion about something, I manage to correlate it to some episode that I came across in my life. :) But it is not always about feeding on self-esteem though a large part of it is. :)

We are having this problem with the new roommate. She thinks she needs to be treated special and we won't do it. She had been telling lies, but after she got caught and exposed with them, she's discovered that she really doesn't like people not believing her. And people treated her badly because of the lies, so she's tried to at least cut some of that out. Still having problems with that.

Ignoring these kind of people is the best strategy is my conviction.If we try to tell them , they just do not listen and if they are badly brought up they resort to screaming and blaming and getting hysterical too. I have encountered this kind and have come to the conclusion that they are not too pleasant to deal with and need to be ignored.

Yes, I have encountered self-centered people. They are very annoying to deal with. These people usually fall away because I can't and won't put up with them for long. They need to be dealt with honesty and hopefully they will see they have some faults and problems.

My sister-in-law is a very self-centered person and I find that she is a very hard person to deal with. She is also the mother of three children and there are a lot of times that she ignores the needs of her daughters (who are all still very small) so that she is able to fulfill her own desires. I think that it is because of the fact that she doesn't pay enough attention to her daughters that her personality is something that makes me so very insane.

Couldn't stay for another minute if somebody just pops out and starts a never-ending litany of just about anything that person blabs about. I roll my eyes in disgust!

Oh I've encountered tons of selfish self-centered people before. I tend to ignore them because all they want is attention and they want it only for themselves. My brothers wife is like that, I don't even recognize her anymore because I refuse to play her childish little games. She's a "princess", and I don't mean that in a good way.

I can't deal with that sort of behaviour in other people at all. I do know a few who like to hog the limelight and feel that they are the most precious individuals in the world. If only they could realise that not everybody shares their very high opinion of themselves. I usually just ignore it and walk away.

I would usually leave this kind of a self-centered person. They think they are great and ignore anyone and this person mostly looks down on others.

met a few and talked to a few.. usually I try to stay away from them, walk away and sometimes it is hard to do..they are many people that way.. when they get annoying I usually go on with another subject or keep my distance.

Such people always want to have or take the important for self which we always find in the society.

Hi shavkat, I know exactly what you are talking about...I have been in the company of such people and boy was it annoying. See I have on patience for the "I' "I" "I" or the "ME" "ME" "ME"...people...I just discreetly leave the conversation and move on... There are some people who just don't want to be out done...they have done everything, travelled the world and had the best thing...everything is about them...

Well its all about how they behave. Its like that they want to feel alive and want be to there with all of them at once. They want people to surround them and make him feel that he is all that important. What you feel is your feeling and its not his. He still feel that he need more attention so he do something special that catch his attention. That makes that person special and you think that person is egoistic.

I am also an attention seeker type of person but am not annoying and i don't seek attention in public. I am only seeking attention when only the two of us around but if other people are around , i tamed myself . So shameful having such behavior .

I have and does not bother me that much . I tend to take people as they are since I am the type who feels slighted if they do not listen to me and tend to make my feelings known by my actions. I sort of laugh it off and find someone who will listen.

Yes, I have met such kind of people and the only thing I can do is to avoid having any kind of conversation with them. It seems that even when you talk about such general things as the weather, it will always end with a long speech about them. Their ideas cannot be changes so, why bother.

hi, Many a time I have handled such persons without hurting their ego. When they behave as supreme powers, we just need to only tell them to think on the other side too. That will make him/her stop by a bit and I am sure you can be the centre of attention and this selfish can not be seen anywhere. Else as suggested by the other respondent, ignore.

I ignore them. They hate it because it hurts. Oh, how it hurts :)

Hi :), I had encountered this type of person and I can say that it's really hard to stay patient with her/him, sometimes I feel like ignoring him/her for a very long time. This type of people doesn't care as long as they get everybody's attention even if they know that they can hurt somebody's feelings. They always want to be the first to be noticed and appreciated, they often hate the people who steals the limelight.

Yeah I had one friend and officemate before. She is a young mom of 2. Her husband left her few months ago. Since then, she became a party goer- acting like single. I told her to at least spend the time with her kids especially now they need her most. But she never listened. Also not satisfactory at her work anymore. I treated her as an older sister so I told her to control her nagging at the office. But she is very pretty, so that's what keeping her confident that the office won't let go of her despite of her clumsiness or failures.. Sad to say- she has been fired. Sad coz I came to her with honest intention but she was over confident. She have forgotten that out office could easily look for a new employee if needed, her worth isn't remarkable. Indeed just cared for herself, didn't mind her work, her friend (me) and even her own kids. -.-
