Do you know someone who makes everything about them no matter what you say? If you mention something about you, they bring it back to themselves. If you talk about politics, you end up listening endlessly to their opinion. Yep, self-centred people can be damn annoying.

A friend of mine, Amelia, was going through a break up with her boyfriend of a couple of years ago, and she was feeling very down. Her friend, Leah, had also split up with her boyfriend and complained that Amelia was not calling her or reaching out to support her when her relationship ended. Even worse, Leah started trash talking Amelia to their mutual friends, complaining that she was selfish.

Leah was incapable of realizing that Amelia had her own issues to deal with and she could only see the world according to her needs. Leah always put her own needs before anyone else’s. Amelia realized that she wanted to distance herself from this self-centred person who certainly wasn’t acting like a friend.
