Why do some men think that the whole world revolves around them?


Women do too, which is an important clue. It's not just common, it's extremely common, because, it turns out: We all do. Actually, we are made to think this fundamentally by our brain because we have a specific part of the brain which makes us think this way; The Ego. It is the part of our brain that actively "lies" to us. It solely exists for us to feel better about ourselves. It turns out that if a human is granted the ability to be self-critical, we need something else to create balance. If we do not have this and we are only critical to ourselves, we actually develop things like depression. Our Ego is very important in this respect. Any time something bad happens to us, our brain goes "But that's not our fault" or "But we don't have to care" or "But why should I be blamed for this". Now this becomes more and more active if someone actively does "not" have sufficient reason to to be proud of themselves, because then there's two things that can happen; You become depressed OR Your ego tells you you're so special, that rule doesn't count for you, there's an exception so you don't have to feel so bad.
Now, one more thing; Like depression is a personality disorder where your Ego doesn't save you from your own self-criticism, this could also go the other way around. Your Ego can also do the opposite and promote your self-importance too much. This is what we call Narcissism. Which is what we are most likely to see when we think about this. Now every time something makes the Ego kick in, it doesn't just give you a little lie, no, it blows everything out of proportions "Everyone else is just pathetic not to realize how good I am", "Let me show them why I am superior", etc.
I think this is a very interesting topic, so there we have it! Why people think the world revolves around themselves? Because otherwise, when we blame ourselves, we'd just get depressed. We need the Ego in order to be self-critical.
I read a lot of questions on here about why does my boyfriend do this or how come he's this way or should I leave him because he cheated on me anytime there's something negative that a man says or does to you and means it he's trying to tell you that he's not the right one for you even though he does not know this because most are kind of stupid but you need to stand back and listen and think exactly what he's doing in his own way he's trying to tell you he's no good for you and that's the way you should be looking at it don't think you can change him don't try to make an excuse for him he doesn't even know what he's doing but in his own way that is not even looking at the whole picture or listening to what he's saying it's just part of human nature he's telling you don't be with me because I'm this type of person
They should try living without us and split the world in half. only a. now I believe someone said something about who built the roads and houses. Everything a woman was the first to do a man took the credit for it. Don't get me wrong you guys do have some level of use but y do u feel threatened when a girl does something only society thinks only a guy is supposed to accomplish? you should read 1st corinthians 11:11, a matter the whole chapter, y'all just pick out the stuff that's convenient and justify y'all bullshit. Yeah, Eve was made from Adam but the fuck do you think pushed the rest of you out? A woman so you could build y'all little roads and houses. Who the hell do you think made windshield wipers before while y'all idiots drove around blind in the rain, a woman or when your asses froze off in your cars or got your little rockets to launch? Some of u need to bring your egos down a level or 2 and what exactly did he destroy his last brain cell?
#Shayyyy1 You are engaging in revisionism. Women were not the first to do anything or create anything. Look at who discovers and invents just about everything. Men. Creativity is almost an exclusively all male club. Now, the windshield wiper is certainly usefull. But, hardly something civilization is built on.
Are you claiming that women had something to do with rockets? If you are then you are delusional.
I have a sneaking suspicion you are black.
@U4ea0 wow and now y'all bring colour into this. Women did have something that had something to do with rockets go read the rocket girls articles at JPL the calculating the computers were almost exclusively women with a penchant for math.
, Go read the facts before sharing your opinion about stuff you have nothing to back up anything your saying. Women have been the first to create many things actually creativity isn't just men's turf as you claim it to be. And since we keeping count of who more of who does more, who's more likely to cheat, you guys, Since y'all wanna do more stuff than women list everything y'all do more of and do first. And who knows what percentage of everything y'all made you actually made and didn't take the credit for more. the computers were almost exclusively women with a penchant for math.
@Shayyyy1 Women with a penchant for math? Women are terrible at advanced math. Just look at SAT and ACT math sections and there is no overlap between men and women. No, the JPL story is old news and completely debunked. All those women did and insert punch cards into computers and record the output. No math on their part was actually needed. It was clerical work which feminists have spun into something else.
How about we don’t hate eachother men and women obviously need eachother to survive!!! Who cares who does what better we are obviously equally needing eachother to continue life? Can’t we appreciate that? And see eachother As individuals

We built this world you live in. So there's that.
@loveslave Pretty sure God didn’t build your home or lay down the roads you drive on.
@coachTanthony. This is the bottom line, but female entitlement won't allow them to accept reality.
@KrakenAttackin @coachTanthony You and I did nothing dawg...
I was born not that long ago lol. I didn't do shi. Neither has anyone else reading this comment lmao. Don't you think it is more sane to think of yourself as an individual rather than accept the credit of some dudes and gals that use to be here? F their traditions and F what they did. I'm going to do it even better. But lemme show you first.
@Chthou95 yes 100% sure you sexist douche. are you saying that the stereotypical opinion that a girl can't build houses or put down roads is completely out of everyones mind? no! thats why when a women wants to build, men would hire them as a traffic guard or tell them to go back to cooking and cleaning. you should be ashamed at how politically blind you are in women's rights.
Ngl that's based
@LexiXide actually you women are now allowed to go work in those death risky Blue Collar jobs which are needed for the world to survive but even if women are given the option, most of them still don't do it because they whine about how in favor those jobs are for men and want special treatment for it. So yeah if they want to work like a man, they have to be a man and stop making excuses
I don't think you whining about facts can get you anywhere.
@Aiko_E_Lara it was a joke felecia
Yeah you're making jokes on a serious topic. Well if everything's a joke then I cannot take your claim seriously then. Therefore you are just truthful.
You are just *not truthful
You say you are stronger than your dad? Then I take that as a joke LOL. I mean you're the one who's joking here
@Aiko_E_Lara bro shutup.
Coming from a big mouth who don't know when to stop. You know I just came but you've been here being a blabbermouth for 9 hours
@Aiko_E_Lara bro stfu bitch no one gives a fuck
You sure no one gives a fuck? Your dad do. Actually one dude here is already preaching me here. And of course you do give a fuck because if you don't, why are you still here?
@Aiko_E_Lara bc im here to piss yo ugly ass off
I didn't know you're actually trying. With you being here "trying" to piss me off, you do realize that you're giving a fuck right?
You care so much to "try" to piss me off Lol
Okay why tell me to shut up? Did I piss you off? 😂
I thought you were trying to do that
I know you don't care about that that's why I'm not the one telling you. However I still thought you were trying to piss me off LOL
So if you're not pissed off then what's with the language? 😂
I miss the part where that's my problem
@BUTIMRIGHTTHO You did nothing to, I have been building my whole life. Don't compare me to your non-skilled, beta, simp life.
@KrakenAttackin why tf u talkin to me
@KrakenAttackin sry are u trying 2 be rude or what
@KrakenAttackin also dont call me honey
Why are all these adult males arguing with a 14 yr. old girl? She is a little girl who has no life experiences. I would not spend more than a sentence with her.
@midnightmoon05 And I can also ask, why would a 14 year old be in an adult discussion? I disregard age when it comes to arguments. Morons comes in all ages.
@Aiko_E_Lara you like to argue. Have a nice day.
@midnightmoon05 And don't even pretend you don't like to argue. You wouldn't be here if that's the case.
@Aiko_E_Lara y'all are a bunch of douches, suck my dick
@Aiko_E_Lara ur moms dick u asshole
@Aiko_E_Lara oh and ur soo scary cuz u got my comment removed. u can call me a bitch but i can't call u kermit the frog? do u really think ur all high and mighty?
@KrakenAttackin im legit 14 and u act like that
Then I guess you are my mom because you just told me to suck your "dick" LOL. Your dick looks like a clit though. I mean wouldn't mind sweetie 😘 but I'm not risking myself to be jailed lol.
And yes g@g just roamed around and delete d your comments. Serves your right though.
Oh by the way I never called you bitch and I never even named called you. Which is probably why. I know G@G isn't a salty moron like you
@Aiko_E_Lara first of all gag doesn't roam around unless u report me. second of all if im ur mom then your adopted, no way i could produce an ugly narcisistic person like u. third of all, last time i checked, calling a 14 yr old a moron IS in fact name calling
And are you sure I'm the only one who is allowed to report you when there are many people watching you right now? Then I am grateful if that's the case because I don't want to have that bitchy karen genes from you anyways. You know you can also report me right now because you have the option to do so but I guess you're just afraid that g@g won't side on you. Also I've scrolled back and you started calling me Felicia first so I just did exactly what you did but still serves you right anyways that you got reported
@Aiko_E_Lara im not reporting u bc im not that immature. also did i not just mention that im 14? leave me alone and stop arguing with someone 10x younger than u. ur just showing how immature u are
Then if you're that "mature" then why do you care so much when you got reported by someone? I mean sure you don't have to report but you also don't have to complain about it. And like what I said I don't care about the age when it comes to argument. You engaged into this argument there for you should know how to end it. It's your responsibility not mine. After all I'm not the one who is going to back out anytime soon so how about you eat your words like how grown ups do it? And by the way I have seen better 5-year-olds so it doesn't matter if you're 14 or not
And also do you even have any proof that I'm the one reporting you? Like what I said this argument is visible to many people just in case you didn't know so are you sure I'm the only one who's allowed to do that?
@Aiko_E_Lara bro do you not know how to take a hint? STOP TALKING TO ME!!! I NEVER EVEN WANTED TO TALK 2 U IN THE FIRST PLACE, I WAS HAVING A DEBATE WITH ANOTHER PERSON AND YOU BUTTED YOUR NOSE IN LIKE THE NOSY ATTENTION SEEKER THAT doesn't KNOW HOW MUCH TIME THEYRE WASTING BULLYING A 14 YR OLD!!! SHUT THE HELL UP!!
@KrakenAttackin oh because i tell like a 40yr old to stop bullying a 14yr old? that makes a LOT of sense.
It's not my fault you show up here. Did anyone also ask you to talk or send a replay here? No? So therefore this is a public discussion and if you're that sensitive then you should have just stayed in your safe place and let the grown ups continue talking
@Aiko_E_Lara i didn't ask you to talk to me but here u are!!
Nobody also asked you will make a reply in this thread in the first place. Do not understand what public discussion means?
@Aiko_E_Lara do you not know what child harassment is? shutup and leave me alone. gawd its like your younger than i am. ur like 60yrs old fighting with a 14 yr old your supposed to be the adult here but yet u act like a 7yr old
Oh no here comes that victim card. Pffff. If you think I'm that bad then what are you going to do about it? You know you're not getting away with everything just because you're a "child". the world doesn't revolve around you. Sure you can say I act like a 7-year-old but at least they are much better than spoiled brats of any age like you
@LexiXide Then do that "better thing" you keep blabbering about. And I bet you can't even explain how it "proves" how that makes someone immature. Easier said than done. Oh I know how to stop. But I just don't want to. Because I'm not like you who's losing credibility and makes excuses for something they don't know how to finish.
*To finish what they started.
I'll predict. You're still gonna come back after saying it's a waste of time. Or maybe you wouldn't because you know you will and it will just prove you don't know what you're saying
What better thing and you don't wanna stop arguing with a 14 yr old for what? for what do you think you're being mature right now? are you really that desperate for a fight? i think im being more mature when i say i dont want to fight anymore. and wtf with the victim card? i suppose you're playing the old man who's got nothing better to do than fight? get off your high horse and stop acting like a douche. let me carry on with my life now.
Sure you can predict that because I'm not the one who is saying this is a waste of time and I'm not the one playing the victim here. And of course I'm glad you know you're wrong. I mean what intelligent person would say they are wasting their time but continue wasting their time anyway?
You know action speaks louder than words. I really love how you keep saying that you don't want to fight anymore but you want to justify the way you call off people by playing the victim. You think I don't know that silly tactic of yours? You say you don't want to fight anymore but you don't apologize LOL. As your silly whiny tactic didn't work before, what makes you think it's still going to work now?
Also what makes you think I'm stopping anytime soon? Because you are the victim and I'm a piece of shit? Well guess what princess but the world doesn't revolve around you
@Aiko_E_Lara You will never convince her of this, she is as entitled as they come.
@KrakenAttackin I don't care. If it's what she wants then she's going to get it. I just love to see her digging herself into a hole even deeper the more she keeps whining here.
@Aiko_E_Lara I am curious what her testosterone count is. She is clearly a modern, ultra-aggressive, female (?). I bet she has facial hair.
Nobody's asking you to comment either. Are you even leaving this thread alone?
@Aiko_E_Lara okay now i know your an immature know it all. sorry im just gonna block you now so i dont have to see your repulsive face and comments. oh wait im not sorry! Oops!
Lol i though you dont block because it would be an "immature" thing to do. But you know, that's what im waiting for. A snowflake blocking me is a self solving problem.
For the same reason that some women do: they've always gotten their way, were almost never told "no", and they are often attractive and thus have "pretty privilege". Their parents often defended their mistakes and transgressions, and insulated them from having to be responsible for their actions.
Such people also tend to be popular, and so they tend to have connections with powerful people who provide protection for them.
In their experience, from their perspective, the world pretty much DOES revolve around them - at least until they run into someone who doesn't need them and doesn't care about their status. It's often a big shock when they encounter someone they can't intimidate or charm into getting their way.
That is certainly not unique to men. Most people in general believe they are the protagonist of their own story, a special existence that will succeed in the end. A mechanism rooted in insanity to keep sane in modern society where we are not special outside our family, and the role we play in society.
For many people holding that fantasy is much easier, and happier than facing the realization that rather than being special, there are millions, if not hundreds of millions of people just like you, and you're only special and unique to your family and friends.
Ah,
Well you've asked why some men believe the whole world revolves around them.
In truth, this is the default setting of all new little, humans. Any experienced parent will tell you all about this.
With maturity and awareness, everyone can grow to be WOKE about everybody elses pursuit of happiness. And that we are no better or worse than another.
But that process doesn't always happen smoothly, and there are growing pains that many of us just have to go through. This is not gender specific. Though, it may suck to experience the growing pains of others, especially those you think you actually like.
Kind regards,

The question that is more relevant is why do virtually ALL women believe the world revolves around them?
Let's look at the expression "when momma isn't happy nobody is happy". Women like to repeat this expression all the time. But it demonstrates the mentality of most women. Basically if mom is unhappy, she is going to make sure everyone is unhappy. I don't know many men who think like that, but I know most women do. Women are also the ones that feel they are entitled to just about everything.
With all due respect, this should not be stigmatized "why men think the world revolves around them" but "why do people think the world revolves around them". Let's be honest, there are vicious men in this world, but also vicious women in this world. I used to think every woman and every girl, was like a flower, with a deep love inside her heart of trueness, morally, ethically, etc. That's not the case. There are women who take pride hurting men, emotionally, physically or both. These same women want to be the focal point of pictures and social gatherings with her "friends". As a guy, yes, men or guys who act this way is pathetic. But I refuse to turn a blind eye with how women and females act today as well.
To the poster who’s mad? I’m calling it out for what it is by labelling why “some men” well then you may as well say why do “some men and some women think the world revolves around”. You are generalizing. I’ve been on GAG for years and if I posted a question in similar context, females would get mad at me as well. I want to be fair and highlight the good qualities of women and girls. But as a guy, I will stand up for males. We live in a world where yes, some people (both genders, both sides) have a pompous, arrogant behaviour about them.
It's called self belief, our focus determines our reality. It's narcissistic but women respond to it.




I don't think it's a gender thing, I think it's a having shitty parents thing.
There's a lot of women like that too.
When you're given everything you want and never are taught to put yourself in other people's shoes or that you're not the most important person in the world. You become a dick face.
I think the OP is projecting, because in my experience it's females who seem to feel that way far more than males I've known. What's funny is that every girl I've ever dated says things like "I'm not like that" when asked about this or many many many other personality flaws, yet every last one of them was exactly like that.
Everyone lies to each other. Until you people start being honest with yourselves and each other, the cycle of abuse will continue.
Says the man who tries to defend men who defend female sexual predators.
I think you are the last person to pick flaws in people
@SunnyHeythere Oh I see you changed your name again. Burned the last one to the ground again?
Try to have some logic instead of making assumptions about people thinking you know everything.
@SunnyHeythere How about I report you for trolling? In any case, blocking you again.. later tater.
they may be part of the generation that were never told no, they didn't keep score , everyone always got a trophy, so now the harsh reality of yes we do keep score, you don't get a trophy just for doing your job hasn't hit them yet.
Others are enabling that type of behavior by not calling them out.
At some point reality will hit them like a shovel in the back of their head and it won't be pretty.
Some women call that “confidence” when men act conceited and it turns them on.
Now if it didn’t turn women on then these most of those guys would eventually stop acting that way.
I don’t think women realize how much Freudian dynamics influences male behavior.
Most women does this... Funny but I'm not one
There are also Women who thinks the world revolves around them. The reason some men and women believe the world revolves around them is because at some point in their lives they got what they wanted when they wanted, little do they realize that that good fortune does not last forever. Again, it is not just some men who think the world revolves around them, it is also some women.
Can't say because I can't relate. As far as I'm concerned, I'm not even the main character in my own story. I'm more like Max in Mad Max Fury Road. Just hanging out watching other peoples' stories unfold.
I worked with a guy like that when I was in my late twenties. He thought the universe existed solely for him. I don't know where he got that, or what made him that way. Maybe it was his upbringing. I don't know.
Men and women... It's called solipsism: "The belief or proposition that the person entertaining it alone exists, and that other people exist only as ideas in his mind."
Generally goes hand-in-hand with narcissism.
What a weirdly fancy statement this is. This happens irrespective of gender. I've heard the song "It's a rich man's world" and I've seen cases of girls, who think the world revolves around them.
Egoism. While I know not how some pick up on that and cling to it I do know that they are rather not likeable individuals. It's basically all about "me, myself and guess who else? I".
@UnknownGagsUser
I don't know why people still think they aren't individuals yet... They think because they have something in common with someone else that they get credit too lol.
Most people think the world revolves around them. You have no other natural perspective than your own eyes, it requires a lot of reflection and pondering to make not being the center of the universe your default perspective.
I think there a lot more women who believe the world revolves them - or should - more than men.
@UnknownGagsUser Re: "I only said to some men lol why it seems like a lot of you men down here get mad?"
- I think it's because the idea of it being associated with men at all is what is upsetting to them, because as I said I think you will find that type of egoism in women more than men.
I don't believe that statement is limited to men, but can easily be said of "some people". It's a human trait to be somewhat self-centered, but some people go above and beyond that into narcissism.
They're just full of themselves so it's a ego thing. Doesn't bother me tho I'll let them live in their imagination world
The same reason some women do. Some people are just self absorbed and if extreme enough narcissistic.
To your update: I think it's possible some men get upset or downright mad because everyday there are people claiming men to be (insert anything negative). Also my original answer about being self absorbed and narcissistic could also play a role as well even when you're specifically asking about some men.
It doesn't bother me at all when people ask these types of questions, and to a degree, I take it as the person asking is just venting more than curious to the answer. I think most people know the answers to their own questions. I'd gather to say over 50% of questions (my guess) here can be answered the same.
Why do some women think that the whole world revolves around them?
because that is their reality. if they believe it it's true to them. they why and how of it i don't understand either
It's more of a gender neutral issue since there are both guys and girls like that.
But the reasoning remains more or less the same, overly inflated egos
Some people in general, not just men. My friend's wife thinks she's the fucking queen of England
maybe they were babied their whole childhood and told that they were special enough that they grew up believing the whole world revolves around them?
The majority of American women think that way.
Why not? If women can do it, why shouldn’t men? Aren’t we working toward “equality”? Ell oh ell!
I don't think anyone does that. Unless perhaps you born into ruling north korea.
Have to say for the same reason some girls think the same.
Man the guys on Gag are just drama queens lmao
It’s not just men. The constant access to social media has ruined a lot of peoples perceptions of the world
Only idiots think this way and people who can't see the big picture. The world is ran by people, not one gender or themselves.
Well to be fair, it is their whole world. At least in their eyes. Why do you care? Just avoid them if they are narcissistic.
actually, my penis has it's own gravitational pull
Probably because that's the kind of man women chase & go crazy over, not all of course, but most.
Ah - you're assuming it's only the men?
Narcissists come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and genders.
Have seen FAR more "princesses" than their male counterparts, by the way...
Arrogance. That's why I hate the alphas lmao.
I think 🤔 op genuinely doesn't care about the question. Therefore no response is needed.
Same reason that most if not all leftist feminist women believe the world revolves around them. It's narcissistic tendencies alive and well in that political spectrum.
Well it does, you just didn't get the memo yet.
Because narcissistic people are narcissistic?
Oh really. That's a bold claim to make when a lot of women have h
Bigger egos than men and act like the world revolves around them
Lol some men are mad because their egos are hurt. Imagine a world without a woman, can you? No. Cause who fucking run this world? Yes, girls!
They have been brainwashed into thinking they are superior.
What scares me is that if men really think they are superior because of what some dead dudes did, then that has to mean that the same ratio of people are probably racist too. Now I know a significant amount of African history is buried and discredited to people that we're not African but if one thinks men are superior due to the results of the past you can also say those same individuals by rule of thumb would have to be racist also.
Now think about what I just said... That is how silly it is to think men are superior. We are all individuals and I do not get credit for what another person has done. However, we do know that every human can do great things if their awareness is expanded enough. We are all the same. We just engage in different ideas which creates different results. Some people in engage in feeling insecure. They don't have to. They have the power to feel confident but are unaware of this power.
It's my penis, not the whole of my body, but thanks for noticing.
Why do majority of women think that the whole world revolves around them?
Because success and good looks does more for a man than for a woman in other words we wear it bette
Because they are extremely self centered people that were spoiled rotten in youth (there are women that have similar mindset )
Because we as humans each believe the world revolves around each of us.
I am the center of my universe and you are the center of your universe
@UnknownGagsUser What experiences have you had that have led you to this conclusion?
Because they have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Something women can also have.
Lol. You are pretty. You can get away with dumb posts.
It is very arrogant to ask such a question for everyone to answer when it could’ve been handled privately seeing that the world does actually revolve around me.
Lol, what about the Kartrashian sluts, snooki, Paris Hilton, Cher, the Olsen Twins?
Seems more like a woman issue than a man issue.
What you're asking is why so men want you to be their mother figure and to treat them like your baby
Because they want to feel cared for
You have some girls like that, and you shave some men like that.
