It's not all about you.

[Revoltingest]

In certain situations, do you feel like yelling at the person you're talking to, or listening to, or engaging with on a forum: "IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU!!" ?

In my teaching career, there were a couple of parents who I confronted. Little Johnny was having trouble at school, and Mom came and ignored any talk about her child, and turned it into an impromptu psychological meeting, and I got to be the psychologist, involuntarily. I'm not a divorce counsellor, I'm not a depression counsellor, or a career counsellor, I'm your kid's teacher. Let's make it about him.

The more we can start thinking about the needs of others, the less we think about ourselves. I appreciate folks who ask how you're doing.

Thoughts?

Anyone in charge of other people must become a psychologist.
I studied under Niccolo Machiavelli.

I had a hunch you were old, thanks for the confirmation.
