How to turn empathy and self-centeredness to pay him on polzu
If we understand the difference between the lungs narcissistic qualities and clinical narcissism, you can turn these qualities to their advantage. First you need to admit to ourselves that we crave the approval of others: at work, in personal relationships or on the Internet.
Next you need to understand that it is normal and natural. Do not reproach yourself, but consider how you behaved. As the people who you are looking for recognition, you react? How did they treat you? You feel that they are kind to you or just putting up with your existence?
If you feel that you have recently become selfish, just do something good. Jill explains that the actions aimed at someone else's well-being, helping us to move beyond their own little world. Jill offers the next time when you go to the store to buy food themselves and need to spend a little man on the street. You and make a good deed, and is guaranteed to become the hero of this story. And in your life is the person you have helped. If the extra money you do not, then there are other ways to help those in need.
Of course, true altruism - it is when you do something just like that, without waiting for this award. However, this does not happen: at least you are making yourself a "credit good deeds" and feel good, so it's not entirely altruistic, but rather disguised selfishness.
Narcissistic quality can even be used to put yourself in the other person. For starters learn to listen. Practice active listening: do not mind, do not accept and do not start talking about yourself. Listen to the story of another person, and recognize that this time it is about him, not about you. If you manage to put yourself in his place and imagine what you would feel yourself in such a situation.
