Does your ego dominate you?

Self-centeredness is a way of thinking and living, based on the exaltation of one's personality, the need and search to be the center of attention, as well as a clear indifference to the desires, interests and needs and interests of others.

Likewise, self-centeredness is characterized by the fact that a person processes his reality by giving high value to his own vision and pressures the environment to adapt to it, while underestimating the consequences of his actions in those around him. It is usually the portrait of the living, the opportunist, the "hard face", the indifferent.

A person suffering from self-centeredness clings to the ego, sees life in a partial way and divides everything into good or bad; He considers that what causes him pleasure is appropriate and what causes him pain is inadequate. It relates to people in a pragmatic and utilitarian way.
