How do you know if you are selfish?

1. Can’t stand criticism. Any remark about you, even constructive ones, is painfully and acutely perceived. Such words psychologically lower, belittle, because the negative assessment hits the inner “I”.
2. You are easily offended. We have already taken apart the effect of criticism on egoists. But not only words can hurt, but also deeds and even indifference. Moreover, it hurts when others do not put other people’s interests above their own. For example, you were not invited to your favorite restaurant, but to a conveniently located place.
3. You have a tendency to narcissism. This is expressed not only in appearance, but also in communication. It is about bragging, excessive demonstration of themselves, stories about successes and virtues.
4. You like to command. As a rule, such people always speak in an orderly tone. They tend to give orders and direct orders. Egoists consider themselves superior to others. With whom do you usually associate command? Of course, with bosses, parents, teachers. That is, with those who are higher in status.
5. You do not know how to listen to the interlocutor. Other people’s problems do not arouse interest. Conversations about failures or troubles are not for you, because such information is perceived extremely difficult.
6. Often use the “I. During a conversation you constantly repeat this pronoun on and off.
