Megalomania is an acquired character trait. It usually occurs in those who have risen sharply to the top of the social ladder. Also, megalomaniacs sometimes suffer from former spoiled children, whom their parents instilled in exclusivity and assured of their superiority over others.
Instructions
Step 1
Megalomania interferes with productively communicating with others, even if superiority is truly justified. A megalomaniac person has to put in a lot of effort to get the simplest service. And all because he looks at everyone from high, and his requests sound like orders. Which, of course, is not to the liking of others. They may render a service to the person asking, but they will in every possible way delay the deadline for its implementation. In addition, a person suffering from megalomania often loses friends. They just don't want to hang out with an arrogant and narcissistic friend.
Step 2
You can get rid of megalomania using psychoanalysis techniques. You can try one of them yourself. In some cases, it is possible to cope with mania without a specialist. Answer yourself to simple questions: "is there any benefit from megalomania", "what gives me the fact that I feel superior to others", "how quickly I find a common language with people", "does megalomania help me to achieve more at work", "Do I have many friends", "am I happy".
Write on a piece of paper on one side - questions, on the other - answers. If there are more positive ones, your megalomania is too strong, you cannot cope without the help of a psychotherapist. If the preponderance is negative, you admit that it interferes with your life and are ready to fight with it.
Step 3
It is necessary to start the expulsion of megalomania with a simple one. Try to communicate with people as equals. Smile, be lenient, friendly. You will notice how the attitude towards you at work will change, acquaintances will again want to communicate with you, invite you to parties.
Step 4
Start helping people. Sincere gratitude is much more emotional than former complacency. You will see that now people around you do not need to persuade them for a long time to do you a favor. Everyone wants to help you without asking. Since they know that their actions will cause you a lot of positive emotions, you will be grateful and will not forget to tell about it.
