Have you ever had a relationship, whether it be friendship, love or other, with a person who is self-centered? What I mean is the type of person who when you talk never responds to anything you say and or goes silent after you speak only long enough to re-direct the conversation back to themselves. If you have what are your thoughts while this is happening? Are you the type to point out this flaw? Why do you think they are like that? Do you think it bothers them to hear you tell them about it? Do you think they are aware that they do that and just don't care?

hi purplerain01!
Oh yes. Like someone who doesn't listen to your stories but love to talk about themselves a lot? haha!
Oh yeah. When I was still in school, I had a classmate who loves to talk about herself, but doesn't pay attention to other's stories. Or my stories perhaps. I really find it rude. People who are so self-centered is not the type of people I want to incorporate with. I find them selfish and boastful/airy. Maybe she "do" that because she has some insecurities about herself and wanted to cover it up by putting herself superior to others. haha! Some times, I think that people like "that" aren't aware of what they are becoming and they simply don't care of other people's feelings.
Happy Lotting!

Hi danitykane. Those kind of people confuse and anger me all at the same time. It is really rude. I always try to comment on what a person is saying. I have experimented with these types of people and found that if you treat them the same way they go away rather quickly. Also if you allow them to continue to treat you that way they will hang on for ever. I think these type of people's favorite response when you don't feed into their selfishness is to ask if are you in a bad mood.

Yes i have had a conversation with someone like that. I think it is really annoying, becuase they don't even tell you there not going to respond and then you just keep on waiting and waiting. Yes, and if people keep re-directing the conversation to them, then it's usless talking to them becuase you cannot get you're point across.
