Traits of a Selfish Person
The covert egoist
The world is full of different kinds of people, from angel souls to self-centered narcissist persons, the amount of certain traits we have in our personality spectrum decides what kind of person we are.
Sometimes we are so obsessed with our needs and wants that we disregard what others are feeling and what they are expecting from us. If you have such traits you better acknowledge that and improving yourself is not a bad idea.
Usually, a self-centered person thinks he or she is smart enough to control others according to their wish. People initially compromise by not hurting them and not choosing to confront it, but deep down they all start to separate themselves from you, and eventually one day the relationship vanishes.
I had a friend of mine who always on a superficial level acted as if he was the most helpful person on this planet. He portrays himself as a kind generous and considerate person but deep down he always tries to manipulate and control people as he wishes.
To acknowledge the selfish traits you need to look for subtle signs and behaviour of their:
- They make you spend more and save their own money
- Considering other people is not in their dictionary
- They don’t even ask you how you doing when they don’t need you
- Comprising is an insult to them
- They’ll contact you when they want some favor
- Arrogance is in their blood
- They always calculate the profit and loss there, and choose the decision that causes them the most profit
- Not feeling gratitude and promoting themselves in other’s eyes
- They have no regard for how their behavior impacts other
- Having zero empathy for other’s sufferings
- They aren’t kind
If somehow you found these traits in your personality, it’s fine we all are born with certain traits that can be regarded as selfish traits; but staying with those traits is not advisable. Improving ourselves is the ultimate purpose of our lives; that’s what we’re born for.
And if you recognize someone with these traits don’t instantly rush to correct them or to eliminate them. You just have to live with them and eventually, when the right time arrives you may choose to confront them what are those behaviors you don’t like, acceptance is a pre-requisite then improvement comes into play.
