Selfish Things People Do in Relationships

#2) You must always be correct.

Giving and receiving occur in all loving relationships in an ebb and flow of exchange. As part of a healthy, nurturing relationship, this is achieved by an equal distribution of power that alternates between the two individuals. It is not suitable for the lifetime of a partnership when this flow becomes imbalanced, like when one of the partners begins to be selfish in the relationship.

One way to realize what a selfish partner does in a relationship is to introspect. Some of the selfish things you would do as a partner include:

1.) You are always talking

In a discussion, you are the one who does the majority of the talking. After a discussion, you realize that you haven’t inquired about the other person, what they think, how they’re doing, or how they could perceive things in a different light than you have. You’re ready to jump in and not pay attention to what your partner says whenever someone says something. Instead of listening and tuning in, you’re paying attention to your thoughts and feelings. Your thoughts are preoccupied with yourself rather than with others.

It is something that happens to the majority of us. The drive to connect or obtain validation, which is normal and expected when you’re a person, might cause this behavior to occur. In doing so, we, on the other hand, close off any opportunities for meaningful connections with others. As a result, we surely don’t add value to the lives of others.

When you have to be correct, others will inevitably be incorrect. Even if they are in the wrong, you place them in an untenable predicament if you concentrate your efforts on establishing your correctness. They are undervalued due to being denied the opportunity to express themselves, and you have risen to the position of primary significance. Your lack of room to examine what you cannot see for yourself also means that you are cutting short any chance for personal growth or learning that you would otherwise have gotten out of the situation.

Because of your need to be correct, you may be quick to point the finger at others and assign blame, even if the problem is the product of your…
