The letter "I"

Just omitting "I" isn't enough to stop the speech from being self-centered. All it does is put up the facade that you aren’t self-centered at that point; well if you're writing something, then it tends to be from your point of view, about you, ect. What you must come to terms with is yeah, everyone is self-centered. That’s the way people have come to be in this society. It is your job to rise above it, and find those around you that contain the least self-centered nature. If those people bother you so much with being so self centered, do something about it. People won't change by themselves. If you care about them, try talking. If you don't care about them, tell them to leave you be, or just ignore them. The point to life is to live as happily as you can, and that involves being a little self-centered sometimes. Don't forget that people have a right to be happy too. And most of the time what makes people happy is a self-centered tendency. So, as long as someone you care about is happy, while still respecting you, is it so bad to be

I'm not trying to make a point that I'm not self centered. I love being pampered, I love hearing my name in a crowd, seeing my picture, knowing that that call I got is because someone cares about ME. But I digress, the point of this was my way of saying that some of my friends are a little too self centered, I don't know if you know me personally or not but I'm horrible with people, especially critizing my friends on their flaws.
It's understandable that we should all be a little self centered, it's a way of survival. But I'm mostly tired of hearing my roommate having people get upset with her because they take things too personally, true she writes well and has good information to give out, but I'm sick of certain friends thinking that they are the only one my roommate thinks of, of course they aren't always on her mind, she has too many friends. But that's a whole different can of worms.

It’s all good. And by the way, you're not that horrible with people, you just think you are. You just need some time to yourself to collect your thoughts. And as per your roommate.... It’s a shame that so many stupid people look to her for so much, and are so self-centered in their thoughts about what she thinks, but hey, it happens. Stupid people abound in this world. It’s her job to tell them to bugger off and get a life. Now, do try to be a little bit more cheery, cus a sad Jane is not good, and just accept the fact that people are self-centered. As madam Calli-Wulffe said, it is an inevitable part of life.
Agreed, until it's over done. (I have friends at home who call, tell me their stories -that I have no interest in hearing- and don't pay any attention to mine... I'm tired of being an ear)

why are we trying to be less self-centered? to better ourselves no? to make ourselves feel better
being self-centered is an inevitable point of life and it's necessary
