      Yes. If you want to talk abt just deserts, you need to keep this in mind. Otherwise, no. Can just deplore it & go away.

      But it's relevant here when we're talking about a distinction between the forgiveableness of egotism vs self absorption

      I should clarify then. Not talking abt abstract ethics but whether you can continue a relationship with someone.

      If someone actually thinks they're better than me, no. If they focus on themselves due to self-doubt, yes.

      I'm OK with someone thinking they're better than me. I'd venture to guess most people do on some level.

      On some level, yes. I'm better than many in verbal ability & nearly everyone is better than me in spatial ability.Not the point

      An egotist is some1 who thinks everything revolves around them & others less important. Compare this with miserable self-doubt

      Yeah, I totally agree there's a significant distinction between the two.

      Yes. I'm considering whether to end a friendship with some1 who will only ever talk abt himself & seems not to care abt my life

      Sorry to hear that. :/ Even if you forgive him for all of that there has to be enough good left over to justify a friendship imo

      Yes. I enjoy his conversation but I need to know he actually cares about me too. I think he does.

          Me too! But no. Looks like this. Him: Me, me, me. Me: You, you, you. Him: Me, me, me. Me: You, you, me. Him: Me

          Maybe you could limit time with him to where your enjoyment is not squashed by his self-absorption.

          Yeah, I'd say that sounds like an important question to answer wrt knowing the nature of the friendship.
