selfish people

how do you deal with selfish people? i mean those that sonstantly talk about themselves and what they have or what they should have.....

i try to ignore them, but when its family and it becomes a persoal attack, there is nothing i can do.

Re: selfish people

i deal with it head on if i feel personally attacked or if it became too much. You can't walk on eggshells and cannot allow someone to affect our life in a negative way!
Ignoring it allows it to continue!

i agree with about ignoring it when its random people at work, and its hard to ignore family. when i try to deal with it, it gets turned around on me....oy, i hate it

Re: selfish people

I throw punches or digs...

For example (stupid example, but hopefully you get what I mean), if someone goes on and on about the outfit they are wearing, etc and makes me feel like I should like it as well..I just say, "ummm, it's nice, but really not my style or taste."

Good luck!

Re: selfish people

There will always be people like that in the world and I am a big believer in Karma and what goes around comes around. Thinking about how its going to come back to bite them in the arse always makes me feel better

I am slowly trying to distance myself from people like that. I have no room for them in my life and have dealt with too many people like that throughout the years.Chat Icon
