How To Cope With Greedy People
While everyone is selfish to an extent, there is a difference between self-confidence and being too-self-absorbed or arrogant. If you’ve met someone very selfish or perhaps have a friend or partner who’s selfish, here are some concrete ways you can deal with greedy people.
Accept that selfish people have no regard for others
They can have moments of generosity and charm, but for the most part, they simply lack the skill or willingness to be thoughtful and considerate. This knowledge will give you a clear understanding of where you stand in the relationship.
Give yourself the attention you deserve
Selfish people according to findings are emotional pirates. They crave for your attention, but don’t give you any. Therefore, ignoring your needs to pour attention and energy into a self-absorbed person isn’t virtuous. It only sets you up for being emotionally drained and hurt.
Don’t stoop to their level
It’s difficult to be kind to a self-centered person who is brutish or unkind to you, but becoming like them doesn’t help things. Resolve to continue being that considerate and loving person that you know you are.
Let them know that the world does not revolve around them
A self-absorbed person may be so caught up in themselves that they forget to consider your thoughts or feelings. Greedy people might just need a little reminder that the world does not revolve around them and that is one way to deal with them.
Starve them of the attention they crave
This is a powerful strategy to deal with extremely selfish people who refuse to regard others. The trick is to be civil but never offer the attention the self-absorbed person craves.
