antrhopology lesson #184890

case study : the egocentrics
  • Characteristic : arrogant, self-absorbed, always put themselves first in any circumstances
  • Dangerous mindset : apologizing/ admitting mistakes = weakness
  • Result #1: they won't apologize or admit any of their mistake for whatever reason
  • Result #2 : people around them got hurt, esp. the closest ones
  • What to do : prove-wrong their mindset by doing the opposite --> not afraid to apologize and admit your mistake which would show how much better it is to be humble rather than being arrogant and egocentric.
Caution : it's up to the person whether they want to change or not. you can't force it.
and for that reason, you have to really consider this --> if the person's heart is big enough to realize that he needs to change, and that he is willing to do so,the person is worth it. if he still holds on to his pride...(answer this yourself)

Quick fact : we all have that egocentric side in us. some people just have it in a way bigger portion than we do. and they don't know how to minimize it.

lesson learned.
