Do you also make everything about yourself? Read this
And do something about your emotional intelligence!
Your friend is sharing his life problems, and you jump into it with your side of the story when you faced the same issues and how it affected you?
Your partner is talking about his feelings, but suddenly you make it all about yourself, assuming that whatever he is feeling is because of you?
Do these cases sound too real to you?

We may not realize that most of us have this problem of making everything about ourselves.
We rarely listen to others and try to include ourselves in their conversation.
It could be because we don’t find it interesting enough, or maybe we are too obsessed with our lives that we feel we have seen, felt everything, and the other person cannot offer us anything new.
Instead of empathizing with them, we end up being the narcissistic friend/partner who never lends emotional support to the one in need.
But, is there a way out? Maybe!
