be less selfcentred

I told someone that I considered myself self-centred but she disagreed and encouraged me to express myself more. It’s hard to say whether or not this indicates that I have become less self-centred. I know that I’m less obnoxious but it’s possible that it’s only because I’m in a new social setting. We’ll see.

I find that in social settings, I tend to be a bit self-centred. For example, I feel the need to be in every photo my friends and I take. Now that I realize the problem, it’s slightly embarrassing and I’m worried that it annoys/hurts my friends. My conversations and actions should be directed more towards the people I’m talking to instead of myself. So basically, I need to calm down, speak/act accordingly, and be more considerate of others. >_<
