If a person does not listen well to his interlocutor, often interrupts him and directs the focus of attention to himself, these are signs of an inflated sense of self-importance. This is the same as megalomania, and people suffering from it often do not see alarming symptoms in themselves and are often offended, especially when compared to others. explained – psychotherapist Larisa Nikitina in a conversation with 360.ru.
“The person is not aware of his problems, especially his delusions of grandeur. It seemed to him that he was really a great person, but they did not love him, did not know him, did not respect him,” the expert explained.
Such people constantly talk about themselves, all communication with them is conducted in one direction, they praise themselves a lot, but in reality they do little. Moreover, if a person realizes his own emotional distress, then he does not have it – this is a sign of critical thinking, which is unusual for such people, the psychotherapist emphasized.
The main signs of emotional distress include not only interrupting, but also not understanding jokes, not being able to admit mistakes, competing for attention, feeling lonely, and speaking in a condescending tone of voice.
Nikitina believes that to get out of emergency situations, you often need the help of a specialist. According to her, getting rid of the syndrome requires analyzing the causes and relationships with relatives.
