Why do some people like to make the conversation turn about them?

[CoolCatMar1]

Like someone may be talking about how bad their day was and someone else makes it a competition and says something that happened to him WORSE...😂

[jennifer_bloom]

yeah, I knew somebody that wanted to monopolize all the group benefits so there was none for others. Like I’d work so incredibly hard at my stuff and got not even a five second air time cause she achieved more than me and wanted 98% of the conversation to be about her. She viewed everything as a competition, even trying to steal my friends by showing off that she was more interesting than me, and there was no need to befriend me if they could befriend her. That’s why I kept a picture of her morbidly obese body on my cell phone, it makes me happier knowing there are things she doesn’t get honoured for and things she gets shamed for.

and some are just selfish lol

the one-upper, they say... lol

I knew someone like this, and it was hilarious... whatever you did or brought up, mentioned, or had... he had it first, done it more, did it better or have two or three of them, lmfao...

and when he could not make it believable, then it was his uncle, cousin or a friend who did

Narcissistic behaviour of people to think that they are the main characters and others don't know what it's really like and that they have it worse coz they are real and others aren't shit.

[Joshydavid25]

We've all known somebody with one-upper tendencies like that.. It's probably their version of trying to relate but in an insecure way to feel adequate..

Human nature. Most people are about themselves. And don't take it personal because as I said it's just human nature. To most people life is a movie starring them.

and then I think back to one of the patients I had that day in the back of the ambo and my day seems pretty damn good.

[The-Stud]

I've observed the same
I wonder if it's narcissism or ADHD , but it's annoyingly funny for sure LoL

[JC_jester]

It's a bit like competition and seeking attention rolled into one. More commonly associated with children than adults.

Upstaging. One upping. Misery loves company. Stealing the spotlight. Monopolizing sympathy.

[Jerre]

They want it to be about them, not other people
