Are you self Centured?

Post Reply New Topic

Sounds so familiar. Yes, I have a history of talking about my issues to people. I suppose they used to be an obsession as I would talk about them to anyone who was in my life at the time. Is this something any other AS people do as these days, I cannot do it really! The only people I mention my problems too now is online...but looking back, I realise, I never exactly talked about my problems because I could never explain what they were. Instead, I woud go on about wanting to die and about feeling depressed but unable to explain why I felt that way. I was always okay at expressing negative emotions, but not so good with affection, excitement, gratefulness and love. those things seem to make me tense up inside, if that makes sense? Now, I get a barrier come up when I am about to speak of my problems on forums or on msn because I have had such negative experiences on so called spiritual forums, where you are expected to be positive, love and light and all that ridiculously delusional stuff. I doubt anyone there was truly love and light, they just made sure they showed only their best side. I never did that and it did not go down well. It bought me so much trouble it is unreal, and then I was left floundering and confused because these were meant to be spiritual people, right? Wrong, these were just regular NT people, pretending to be something they were not.

No.

But I am fairly self centered

I care for people and things worth caring about in my mind.

I can show empathy for things worth showing. For example, it's no good caring about 9/11 because that didn't affect me.

More like self-absorbed. I feel uncomfortable when people talk about their own hardships. I sympathize with them and feel like I owe the person in question.

It's a lonely feeling.

Everyone is sometimes self centered

Including me

But lil dipshits act like I am a lot more self centered than, I am

They act like, they are not self centered


It appeared that they cared about a lot of precious lil "people", , but everyone they cared about was just like themselves and cared about them vice versa




f**k mister redelings

I do often bring myself up in conversations, but that's because I don't always know what to say in response. Also I like to compare my experiences or opinions to other people's. For example:-

Other person: I always do my grocery shopping in Sainsbury's
Me: Yeah, I do sometimes, but usually I go to Tesco to do mine

Do you know what I mean?

I can be pretty self-centered......

I'm very self centered. After all who am I with? Myself! Who do I know best? Myself!

Joe raised a good point. If someone says something to me about themselves, I tend to say something similar about myself in return.

I've heard people describe themselves as being selfish because they talk about themselves all the time but I reverse that on them and say they were being generous for sharing information about themselves. I like it when people talk about their favourite things and their experiences because I usually learn something.

Yes.

I am hung like a centaur.
