OK. I was diagnosed as "severely narcissistic" at age 19 or so, again at 20. I dunno about being "narcissistic" now, but I do tend to be self-centered, even now after shrinks put me through "humbling experiences" (long story....), Teen Challenge, I got saved 2 1/2 years ago, etc.

OK. Now and then, I'll pray for a way out of myself, to be less self-centered. I also pray for other people more, now, than I did for a long time. This latest round of "issues" with my friend, Verna's grand-daughter, has made me more cognizant of my own self-centeredness and also how terrible I was before The Lord saved me.

So...yeah. I need help praying to be less self-centered. Oh, and also to toughen up a bit. I mean, I'm not looking to be a man's man, but I need to toughen up some if I'm going to stay in society. And...that is all. :-)
 
Being a touch self-centered is normal ... it's called self-preservation. Excessive self-centeredness is not self-preservation. An excessive amount would be the belief "It's all about me".

Continue to read/study your Bible ... and further develop your relationship with our Lord God ... and He will guide you!

Prayers continue for you, my friend :wave2
