When your outlook on life is self-centered, your processing of information and interactions all unfold with yourself in mind. This can cause your ego to escalate, potentially resulting in disappointments, setbacks, and frustrations.
However, if you make the interactions with others about them instead of you, your focus shifts to making the dialogue revolve around the other person’s needs and paradigms. This approach usually makes you a better communicator and also creates a deeper satisfying discussion.
Next time you interact with someone, remember: It’s not just about you, it’s also about him or her!
