Have you ever shared something meaningful, only to have someone flip it back to themselves? You’re not imagining it. Today, we’re exploring the subtle — and sometimes exhausting — pattern of people who make everything about them. From hijacking conversations to emotional centering, we’ll uncover the psychological roots of self-focused behavior and why it’s often more about wounding than ego.

💭 In this episode:
• Why people interrupt, compare, or redirect conversations
• The deeper psychology behind “me-first” patterns
• The impact on relationships and emotional safety
• How to show compassion without enabling
• What to do if you recognize this in yourself

✨ Journal prompts and awareness tools included at the end to help you practice mindful listening, grounded empathy, and healthier connection.
