To one degree or another, egoism is inherent in every person. But sometimes love for one's own person overshadows everything around. Is it possible to build a family, raise children, share intimate things with someone who is busy only with thoughts of himself? Try to stick to the golden mean, thinking not only about yourself, but also about those who are around.

Step 1
The egoist lives in his own little world, where everything must obey his whims and desires. If he decides to make contact with the outside world, then only in search of benefits for himself. Therefore, the best cure for selfishness is caring for others. Remember how a young mother completely dissolves in a newborn child, giving him all her strength, forgetting about her personal needs. Sometimes it is worth sacrificing your own interests for the sake of a loved one. Offer help when you see a need for it. After all, people do not always ask for support, even when they are in dire need of it. Good deeds contribute to the spiritual enrichment of a person, most importantly, be sincere and selfless.
Step 2
Usually an egoist is inattentive to the interlocutor, considering the dialogue only as an opportunity to speak out. Therefore, learn to listen and hear the interlocutor. Pay attention to intonation, pauses, gestures - these seemingly little things will help determine the emotional state of the speaker. Avoid judgments and criticism, because the most important thing in a conversation is to maintain a benevolent tone that will help the other person to relax and feel comfortable.
Step 3
Small children are self-centered. A child associates any event or phenomenon with his own personality, considering, for example, that the sun sets because it is time for him to go to bed. Usually, this stage of personality formation can be overcome even before the start of schooling. But sometimes the traits of egocentrism persist in adults as well. First of all, they are expressed in unwillingness to take the place of another person, to accept his position.
Follow the biblical principle - love your neighbor as yourself. Ask your family and friends more often: what can I do for you? Try to look at the situation not only with your own eyes, but also from the point of view of another person, ponder the course of his thoughts and the possible perception of what is happening. Then it will become much easier to find a compromise with any person, you will not need to waste energy on useless arguments and struggle.
