Center of the Universe

Uman di man sija makatunong pagtubag? Have you encountered people who do not know how to answer questions? You see, there are those who will be asked with a simple question answerable with yes or no but they answer you with phrases. That is when communication halts.

Is this their way of sounding clever? Or, they are simply incompetent with their communication skills.

A good communicator can encourage two-way dialogue, discuss critical issues, exchange information, build trust, and engage people in the desired goals of a group.

Good communication skills are key to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, frustration, or even disaster by being misinterpreted or poorly delivered (Hereford, 2020).

Yet, there are people who are incapable to communicate since the concept of this as two-way is not applicable to them. They think that their own ideas are the important ones. Often, their insecurities propel them to block another person for them not to confront the inferiority of their ideas. Or, their narcissistic personality overpowers.

One of the main reasons why we dislike certain personalities is their inability to listen and their power-seeking efforts to cut us off. These types like to be the center of the conversations to the point that they think that all conversations gravitate to them, their spouses and children or anything about their lives.

If you know somebody who constantly makes everything about themselves or seems to have little to no consideration for others, you are likely dealing with a self-centered person.  This is common with people who have narcissistic personality disorder and makes it difficult for them to maintain healthy relationships with others (Mutziger, 2022).

Sometimes, the concept of “having a standard” on friendships is a wrong concept. You simply do not know how to communicate well. This might be caused by something in your personality. A disorder might be one.
