7 Important Signs To Recognize a Selfish Person

We all have a natural tendency to be selfish from time to time. However, selfish people think of themselves by default. They prioritize nobody else but themselves so if it’s anywhere near inconvenient for them, they wouldn’t do it for you.

These people make a habit of making themselves the center of everything, and they do that by pushing you out of the spotlight.

The thing about selfish people is that they’re also experts at hiding their self-centered nature. For all you know, you may be in love with a selfish person right now, or perhaps you have a best friend who’s selfish. Don’t worry – you’re not alone there.

Another trait of selfish people to be aware of is their ability to suck you into their little circle of happiness. Everything is about them so they’d try to involve everyone in this self-centered belief. Why else do you think they’re so draining to be around?

There’s no easy way to recognize a selfish person. It’s almost impossible to catch the signs early on, which is why we’ll be guiding you through every one of them. Use these 7 signs and ask yourself if that special someone is nothing but a selfish and bad person who doesn’t deserve you.

# They’re friendly at first until they’re not

Expect inconsistency from a selfish person as it’s one of the areas they particularly excel at. They seem sweet and genuine, but it’s all a facade. After all, how else can a selfish person pull you into their track other than by putting their best foot forward?

They put this facade up until they’re sure you trust them enough. That’s when they start to reveal their true colors.

# They always ask for favors

A selfish person doesn’t feel the slightest shame or remorse when asking for favors. Whether it’s something big or small, they’re not shy in asking for favors. You may think it’s sweet because they feel comfortable enough to ask you small favors, until you realize they were never feeling awkward in the first place.

# They excuse themselves from helping you

When it comes to helping you, they also come up with the lamest excuse to avoid delivering. Maybe it’s an emergency with their family or their schedule is packed *even when you practically know their schedule.*

Whatever it is, selfish people give the lamest excuse when helping you out and it’s pretty obvious.

# They’re two-faced

Even when talking to someone they hate with extreme passion, they act completely nice and friendly towards them. They’re completely fake when interacting with them, but yet, they’re completely okay with insulting them behind their back.

Selfish people are the biggest two-faced people you’ll ever meet and they’re excellent at it!

# They make a hobby of using people

Selfish people will do anything to get what they want, even if it means using people. They’ll even share a laugh or two with you and admit they’ve used someone else to get something done.

This should be a red flag for you and if I were you, I’d run from the friendship or relationship.

# They’re people-pleasers

We’ve mentioned above that they’re the biggest people-pleasers, but to what extent exactly? They’ll put their best foot forward when you meet them, and everything is flawless and clean. It’s as if they actively made sure you won’t see any warning signs that’ll cause you to run.

Only when you’re in the relationship deep that they’ll reveal who they really are and it’ll shock you completely. It’s as if the person you initially liked and the person you’re talking to right now are two different individuals.

# They’re excessively friendly

Remember we’ve talked about them putting a perfect front? Selfish people will do everything to get your trust and friendship. That could mean compliments, fake smiles, or basically anything to pull you into their trap. Don’t fall for it, no matter what.

Even if it seems genuine and sweet, they’re not to be trusted. Excessively friendly people almost always have selfish, ulterior motives.
