I get sick of everything revolving around self absorbed people?

[NotBigBrotherAgain]

I always find that things always revolve around self absorbed people who talk about themselves constantly and never think of anyone else. People hang on their every word and remember every minute detail of their lives, whereas if you are considerate towards others and actually listen to others no one seems to remember a thing about you! I've even actually tried talking about myself more lately but no one seems to listen to me!

I'm particularly pissed off with one friend at the moment who always talks about herself when we go out as a group. She will interject everyone elses conversations talking about herself and everyone bloody stands to attention for her.

Someone else who is very self absorbed is currently on holiday in Spain on what seems to be a bog standard package deal, and is posting 50+ holiday photos per day on Facebook, and everyone is fawning over her, asking her questions and saying how amazing it all looks. She is someone who also never ever listens to anyone else and everyone hangs on her every word.

I think it must pay to just be generally selfish and not care about anyone else. Why are people so taken in by self absorbed people even when they're as boring as fuck?

I hear you OP! I like to think consideration for others and taking an interest in them will ultimately prevail....but I'm honestly not so sure. All you can do is remove yourself from the banal tittle tattle and focus on your own life. Truth is no one really cares about other people's lives, just their own.

Go have and and forget about it

I work with a woman like this -constantly interrupting others to talk about herself. People let her talk but don't listen and no one can stand her. She's leaving soon and we aren't sorry to see her go!

Thanks for the replies both of you.

The self absorbed twats that I know seem to have everyone hanging on their every word, fawning over them, and remembering every single tiny detail about their lives. It pisses me off so much!

Everyone is a narcissist these days

Oh op I get you !

Simple answer I think is they are actually insecure and crave validation and being British seems to lend itself to making other people feel better !!

Dominate conversations , take something you said an make it there own . Contradict themselfs . Opinionated yet Flakey as fuck . You wouldn't want to be like them op so don't stress and stay as you are !!

OP, I could have written your post myself! Why do I find myself constantly listening to people telling me how interesting, fascinating and, of course, endlessly busy they are!?

totally agree with you op

remember empty vessels make the most noise

Don't revolve. Disengage. Walk away.
It's liberating!

hard though

the person I know like this is my boss and we work one to one

at the end of the day I'm physically and emotionally shattered listening to her talk about herself all day long....

It's so hard to walk away and disengage when they hijack conversations you're having with other people and talk about themselves and literally demand the attention of the person you were talking to.

Oh I remember those people at work. Much of their moaning was about how there just weren't enough hours in the day to get things done. Ironically usually for about two hours a day.

Op just nod Along and thank fuck u ain't so shallow
