Self-centeredness harms relationshipsHumboldt Beacon

Is it selfish control, egotism or just plain narcissism? It doesn't matter how you label it - the effects are the same. When a person thinks the world revolves around them, when they are irrational, frustrated and angry when they don't get what they want, they may win now, but in the long run their selfishness makes them heavy losers.
The best of friends, families and partners eventually with draw from an egotist whose destructive words and actions confirm what others feel, need or loose means nothing to them. Pulling away emotionally precedes pulling away physically. People will stay in emotionally destructive relationships for financial and family needs, but they pay a high price in their lack of emotional fulfillment.
Recognizing selfish egotism beneath the initial charm is important if you are looking for a meaningful relationship. In your search for lasting love, avoid the following traits.
Egocentrics have a need to discredit others to make themselves appear better. Be aware, if they do this to others they will do it to you when it becomes convenient.
They expect and demand excessive and unwarranted admiration. Egotists will talk loud take front center stage and override others. They require constant attention. They expect to be catered to and admired. They are important and it won't be too long before you realize that you aren't.
They flaunt self aggrandizement, inflated self esteem, bragging, claiming they are smarter, more capable, braver or even holier than others.
Egocentric people are envious, but they project that others are envious of them. They envy qualities they lack and seek to diminish those qualities in others. They are passive aggressive like a dog who licks your face while he pees on your leg.
They claim superiority, use it as “right” of entitlement and create a dual standard where the rules apply to you, but not to them. They take advantage of others for their own objectives. They rationalize, justify or deny, but their actions betray them.
Relationships with narcissists are intellectually draining. They have no desire to honestly communicate. They will intimidate, accuse and rewrite history, but they won't yield their manipulative position and communicate.
Egocentric people are emotionally draining. Those who live with them start shutting their emotions down, turning their feelings off and when they don't feel any more, they don't care any more either.
Narcissists are as careless about assets as they are about feelings and needs. Don't imagine you can change them. Egocentric people are emotionally immature. Until they actually understand what they are destroying, they will continue to believe they are “winning.” They don't emotionally connect. Most of them die lonely even if they are surrounded by people.
