No matter what you go through, you’re always experiencing life from your own perspective. It’s natural to sometimes feel like the most important person – that’s just part of being an individual! But being too self-centered can have its problems. People who are extremely self-centered tend to see every issue as a personal attack, and that makes life harder. For instance, someone who’s very self-centered might get upset and frustrated in a traffic jam or a long line at the store, as if it’s a personal attack on them.

A better way to handle negative feelings like frustration or rejection is to shift your focus away from yourself. Thinking too much about these feelings only makes them worse. If someone stops loving you, it doesn’t mean it’s all your fault. You can try focusing your love on other things, like through meditation or prayer.

Being too self-centered can create more problems. For example, narcissistic people often need others but struggle to understand them, which can lead to unhealthy relationships. Insecure people want control, praise, and approval from others, and wanting too much control isn’t always good for relationships.

We also communicate more online and through text messages, which gives us control but has consequences we don’t fully understand yet. Some people might even turn to robots and virtual partners for intimacy, whether for physical or emotional reasons – since they find it difficult to handle rejection or divergent opinion(s). These ROBOTOIC relationships give a sense of total control and predictability, unlike human relationships.
