How can I stop being so self-absorbed I literally think the world revolves around me?
Ive been trying to sort my life out and as a result ive had to do a lot of self reflection. Ive been seeing a therapist for a while and ive made good progress. However i find that i think quite a lot about my past and various others issues i have. Which basically means im away off in my own head thinking a lot and not really paying attention to the outside world and the people in it. Even when i go out socialing on a saturday night, a time when im supposed to be relaxing, i find myself preoccupied with my own thoughts. This means i kind of pay no real attention to anybody but myself. I know this is a problem and i dont wanna be like this because ive met self absorbed people and they really are off putting. But how can i fix my life and face my issues without becoming self absorbed? Thanks

Start doing little things to help other people.

Help a little old lady across a street.

Smile at someone who looks like they could use it.

Give a couple of dollars to a pan handler.

Donate some food to a homeless shelter.

Go to McDonalds and pay for someones order.

Help your neighbor.

do a good deed for another....anonymously.

If you are married, tell your wife she i beautiful....and mean it.

the list is endless.

What you are is pure human nature. We all struggle with it.
If you really want to become full of love and other centered, seek out , call upon Jesus Christ. If you do this with a pure heart, he will change it for you.
I am not talking about religion or an empty thing, I am talking about connecting with the Lord of the universe who loves you more than you know.
How do I know this ? Because I was once extremely selfish, angry, jealous and that is gone. I ask Him everyday to love others through me. He is faithful beyond measure.

1) Tell your friends and family members how much you appreciate them.

2) In the office, at the bank, on an elevator or a train, hold the door open for someone else.

3) Pick up a piece of trash lying on the street and put it in a trash can.

4) Greet the doorman a good day.

5) Give your seat to another person.

6) Compliment a co-worker for his or her good performance.

7) Call your parents to tell them you love them.

8) Cook delicious foods to share with your classmates or co-workers.

9) Help your neighbor take out the trash.

10) Write little notes of thanks or support to your friends.

11) Give a homeless person a cup of hot coffee.

12) Put some money on one of those donation boxes for charity.

13) Write to someone you haven't seen or talked to in a long time.

14) Address your server or waiter by name and leave a generous tip.

15) Motivate someone to achieve their dreams and let them know you'll always be there for them.

16) Let someone cut in front of you in a line, especially when he or she is in a rush.

17) Give your parking spot to another driver.

18) Give someone a present for no reason. Better yet, send it anonymously.

19) Volunteer to do someone else's task.

20) A random acts of kindness list won't be complete without the reminder to always smile. Smile at strangers, smile at people who aren't nice to you, even to people you don't like. Smile - it's infectious!

How about attention seeking on a forum about your self..lol


People don't give a fuck about you,
what you think is alongside the fly poo on a light bulb..

Now start being kind and appreciate with your heart your life and therefore the life of others.
When you can feel good about being small, you know you made the big league.

A good therapist will get you to trade your lies about your self, for their lies about your self.

This is what Einstein meant when he talked of relativity.
To you everything is centred on yourself whereas in reality
when I die, and I'm 76 now, the whole of the universe will cease to exist.
