I’ll have to think more about this.
As long as it’s not a female and she’s not a mega-hottie and, therefore asking her on a date. Wouldn’t go there!

Interesting question… It is important to work on yourself…You are important too… your life means something…if you feel being self-centrered is bothering you… then work on it… is it self-centrered to work on yourself? you want to come out of it… it’s okay to be self-centred until you can work to pull yourself out of it… takes time…
I look on other forums over the years and women get called self centred and selfish for not wanting kids… But better not to have them than to have them for the sake of having them and not care… that would be selfish…
I am a self centred and selfish individual… I have learned that it is ok…

Now, I wouldn’t say that about yourself, @anon80629714! Maybe i don’t quite understand what you’re saying, but you are a very warm and giving person, at least in terms of what you give to this forum! Don’t be like @far_cry0.

Believe me, @anon80629714, I know what it means to be really ill, have low self-esteem and just simply not be a good person. What really matters is what one learns from their experiences and how it shapes who you are. Really, what matters is who you are now!

Well, as I’ve noticed from some other posts by other members, you can be really self-deprecating. But, like @anon80629714 said, you’ll come out of it!

I’d say right now, it’s mostly healthy and probably the best I’ve had since my last meltdown a little more than 4 years ago. You don’t want your self-esteem to go too high though, @far_cry0, or else one becomes a narcissist, at the very least!

I am trying man.what are u saying man…??
I’m saying a narcissist has really high self-esteem, but especially if they are an extreme narcissist like Trump, they can’t take any criticism. This makes them hard to deal with because their extremely self-centered. I don’t think it will happen to you, because narcissism, and other personality disorders, are usually the result of severe abuse, suffered and incurred in childhood and adolescence. And their very hard to treat, as well!
advice to become less self centered- be more interested in the world around you.
