Reasonable selfishness is not only not bad, but even necessary. However, when a person begins to think only about himself, ignores the needs and desires of other people, and most importantly, does not even try to make concessions and find a compromise, then the time has come for careful work on himself.
The fight against egoism: the initial stages
When a person realizes a problem, he already takes several big steps towards solving it. It is important to understand exactly how egoism is interfering with you and others. It is advisable not only to identify the main points, but also write them down so as not to get confused and not to forget anything. Selfishness can lead to a deterioration in relations with loved ones, loss of lovers, problems in school and work. Think about what happened because of this shortcoming of yours and make the appropriate notes.
Remember to consider other people's opinions. This is one of your first exercises: think not only about yourself, but also about how your egoism affects the behavior and feelings of others.
Start monitoring your conversation. If you are used to talking only about yourself, make a habit of asking your interlocutor about his affairs, when appropriate, as well as listening to his stories carefully, without interrupting or making a bored face. It may be difficult for you to take care of yourself and celebrate successes, but those around you will probably notice them. You can ask loved ones to help you. This is one of the best behavioral correction options.
