Am I Self Centered Quiz

According to Very Well Mind (1), some common signs that someone is too self-centered are:

• They dominate conversations and don’t really listen to others.
• They lack empathy and may not be able to see things from another person’s perspective.
• They take more than they give and make the relationship feel one-sided.
• They want things done their way and have a hard time compromising and doing things someone else’s way.
• They’re quick to blame others and avoid responsibility for their own mistakes.
• They always want to be the center of attention and may try to bring the focus back to themselves if it shifts to something or someone else.

According to Very Well Health (2)and Berkeley Wellbeing (3), there are various factors that can cause someone to be self-centered, such as:

• Upbringing: The person might have been raised in a way that taught them they didn’t have to consider or include others, or that valued materialism and status over empathy and compassion.
• Rejection: Self-centeredness can also come from early feelings of rejection, says Dr. Aimee Daramus, a licensed clinical psychologist.
• Mental health conditions: Some mental health conditions, such as narcissistic personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, or antisocial personality disorder, can cause a person to behave self-centeredly without necessarily realizing it.
