How to recognize an egoist - 7 sure signs that will help protect yourself from a difficult person

Selfishness is a common phenomenon in life. In the modern world, there are few people who will sacrifice their own good and convenience for the sake of others.

It is important to distinguish between healthy selfishness and selfishness that kills humanity. Egoists can be both men and women, regardless of age.

The first and very noticeable sign of selfishness - This is the ability to talk only about yourself. Such people do not like to listen, they can and only like to talk. They only care about their own life. In any situation, they will find where to insert a story about themselves. T

Questions like “What's new with you?”, “How are you?”, “I noticed you were kind of sad today. What happened?" they ask for the sake of decency, not because they are interested.

When you first start talking about your life, they will most likely interrupt you and drag the conversation over to themselves.

Second sign - this is the priority of material goods. The main themes of selfish people are new clothes, new hairstyles, new manicure, new shoes. They strive for well-known brands because they always need to be on top. This is done so that no one can doubt that they are the best.

Another "screaming" sign - the ability not to pay attention to other people, to go over their heads for the sake of their goals. Egoists will do everything to achieve their selfish goals. To overstep morality and ethics is not the worst thing for them. It is much worse not to get what they want.

The danger of friendship with egoists is that they will be ready to betray you for their own sake.

The fourth sign- this is the inability to listen and accept someone else's opinion. If the opinion of selfish people differs from yours, then they will not perceive it. For them, someone else's opinion is just a concussion. In addition, if you start arguing with them, you run the risk of running into insults and humiliation. For them, doubting their opinion is an insult to the core.

Fifth sign - doing good deeds for profit. They are looking for benefits for themselves in everything. If you just ask an egoist for something, he will most likely refuse. But if you ask him to do something in return for the reward, he will agree. For public praise or money, such people are ready to fulfill any request.

Sixth sign - eternal attention-grabbing. As you know, you can attract attention in different ways. For example, branded, bright or overly revealing clothing, provocative or indecent behavior, unique items to brag about.

In groups of friends, for example, at parties, it is very easy to spot such people. If suddenly they are not in the spotlight, then they will do everything so that people look only at them. What can they do? Start talking about an expensive purchase, pouring something on yourself, pretending to fall, and so on. Nothing can stop these people.

The concluding feature Is an inability to empathize. When you tell an egoist about a trouble that happened to you, the answer is likely like: "Well, don't be sad, everything will pass", "There is nothing terrible about that."

They are not interested in your life, they will not offer solutions to your problem.

Most likely, they will again turn the conversation to themselves and will never remember your misfortune again. It is very difficult to make friends with such people, because this friendship is one-sided: you will always listen to this person and help him, and he will not even ask about your affairs.

Thus, you need to carefully look at people. When you notice these signs, it's best to stop communicating with that person. However, do not forget to pay attention to your actions and behavior.

If you show signs of being selfish, then people are likely to turn their backs on you.
