5 Symptoms You Are Dating An Egomaniac

Are you dating a person who at first looked great, but now you’re not sure what to think about her? Does it seem like everything revolves around her?

In that case, it’s possible that you’re dating an egomaniac, have you thought about that?

It’s important to start by understanding that self-centered people believe that their own opinions and interests are more important than those of others.

Of course, it’s healthy for a person to see themselves as a priority in their lives. However, what is not right or healthy is trying to be the priority in the lives of others.

That’s precisely the problem when you’re dating an egomaniac. Read on and find out if you find yourself in this situation.

1. All the time he needs you to reaffirm his importance and qualities.

Egocentrics are able to project great security into themselves, but the reality is completely opposite.

These people are usually very insecure, so if you’re dating an egomaniac,  he’ll be asking your opinion all the time and needing your approval.

Among the questions you’ll find yourself answering all the time are:

• How I am?
• Does that suit me?
• Do You like me?
• What do you like about me?

If you have doubts about whether your partner just wants your opinion or is self-centered, consider whether he behaves the same with everyone. Also, it would be good to analyze  how he acts when you make a negative comment.

A stable person can understand when he receives constructive criticism, but an egocentric will take it very badly. Most likely, you will end up causing a big fight or becoming defensive.

2. Analyze each situation considering only how it will be affected

Another symptom that shows you are dating an egomaniac is that  your only filter when analyzing the situations that are presented is him  (or her) himself.

For example, you may have had a bad day, and perhaps when you see it, all you want to do is stay home to rest or talk.

A normal partner would understand that you feel bad and would agree to stay with you to talk or just keep you company. An egomaniac, on the other hand, would be upset if you had already made plans and would scold you or leave without caring what you feel or need.

This is because  self-centered people have little or no empathy , so they only care about themselves and their needs.

3. He wants your undivided attention and that you are there when he needs you.

Another common situation when you are dating an egomaniac is that you  need to be available to him at all times . Whether to listen to him or to go where he is, self-centered people will seek to control everyone around them.

Do you feel exhausted and sometimes prefer to put a little distance with this person? Did you have to leave activities, people or situations that were very important because of that person?

• While at first you may be flattered that someone needs you so urgently, in time that person will end up being a burden.

• If you find yourself in this situation,  remember that you have the right to set your priorities  as you see fit and you don’t have to leave the things that interest you for someone else.

4. You don’t remember the things that are most important to you

You’ve been dating someone for months and you can’t even remember if you have siblings? Have you told him several times what food he likes the least and always order because he forgot it bothers you?

Of course there is a possibility that this person is a little clueless. It happens to all of us to get it wrong once, but an egomaniac will have no interest in listening to you.

They may seem like little things, but that doesn’t mean they don’t matter. It is precisely these details that show someone’s real interest in you.

When you don’t remember the relevant things, it means  you’re more of a person pretending to pay attention to it .

5. He talks all the time and doesn’t give you the opportunity to talk about his ideas

Another sign that you are dating an egomaniac is that  you have to listen while he talks all the time . It is possible that, on occasions when you allow yourself to speak, you do this just to give you reason and then you can continue to listen to what you have to say.

Do you think what you say is not interesting to that person and that’s why the whole conversation revolves around him? This is a clear symptom.

What to do when you are dating an egomaniac?

• Set limits. It is important that you define and respect your limits to prevent your self-esteem from being harmed. If that person is not able to respect you, perhaps you should take another path to avoid major problems.
• Explain what you feel upset about. Unfortunately, he may not be very interested in what you have to say. However, it is important to do this to clarify the situation and give you the opportunity to make changes that will improve the relationship.
• Put some distance between you. You must be realistic and understand that some people are just not ready to have a healthy relationship.
