How To Tell If You’re Too Into Yourself
Nov 10th
If you want to know how to tell if you’re too into yourself, there are a few tests you can try. Once you’ve established that you’re too into yourself, you can start changing at your own pace. Let’s get right into the “Too Into Yourself Test Series”.
The Story Test
Pay attention to what you do in a social situation. When someone’s telling a story, do you feel the need to top it?
Sometimes the need to feel liked can make you want to dominate conversations. This is sometimes called the “Me Monster” test, because you keep telling stories about “me, me, me” all the time.
If you like to win at story contests, you’re probably too into yourself.
The Needs Test
Do you feel your needs are more important than others?
If you put your needs before anyone else, you’re probably too into yourself. Good examples of this are blowing off plans with someone you care about because you “Just don’t feel like it”, or ignoring a friend in pain because you have something else you want to do.
There’s a fine line between taking care of yourself and being too into yourself.
If you find that you’re focused on you most of the time, you’re probably too into yourself.
Moodiness Test
Do you find your mood shifting drastically from hour to hour or moment to moment?
Being moody can mean that you’re focused on you too much. When you’re focused on yourself, it’s very easy to be dissatisfied with your situation, and that makes you grumpy. The problem is that your moods will affect those around you. If you shift often, it can be exhausting!
If you jump moods too quickly and blame it on others, you’re probably too into yourself.
Brutal Honesty Test
Do you use the phrase “I’m just being honest.” often?
When people use that phrase frequently, it usually means they feel important when they can point out the faults or missteps of others. Again, there’s a fine line between being honest and being mean, and people who are brutally honest most of the time are usually focused on making themselves feel good.
If you like to be “brutally honest” whenever you can, you’re probably too into yourself.
These are just a few ideas to get you going. Look for signs in your life that you’re too inwardly focused. Then take the time to work on those areas so you can grow, both as a friend and a person. Best of luck!

To maintain a quality of life into are old age it is important that we begin to live a healthier lifestyle, and the sooner the better.
The reality is that as are body’s age they begin to degenerate. This is a fact of life and there is very little that we can do about it. However, living a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a healthy diet can help to slow down the ageing process and increase our quality of life.
As the body ages it does not produce the same amount of energy as it did when it was younger. The body was also able to recover more rapidly from infections and the night after many glasses of wine. As the body ages it begins to lose muscle tissue and brain cells. It does not function as effectively as it use to.
Living a healthy lifestyle is not only about the physical aspects it is also about our emotional health. In terms of our quality of life we want to be physically fit and have the energy to do the things we want. But also we want to be happy in our minds as well. There is not much quality of life when feel we down and depressed all the time. There is no guarantee that exercise will vanish the dark clouds away however, there is growing evidence that it can make positive changes to our moods.
If you want to increase your chances of living an active and fulfilled life as you get older then the change has to be begin with you. You alone have to decide that you want to change and that you are committed to following through. Many people who want to get fit or they want to lose weight do not follow through on their commitment. They give up at the first sign of a challenge. Before you start you seriously need to decide that you want to change.
This process of change can be made easier by focusing on the outcomes that you will achieve and that is a healthier body and mind with the energy of living a full and vibrant life. Also, when keeping fit do exercises that you have fun doing as you will only get bored and give up. Many people do not like exercising alone therefore, get one of your friends to go out for jog with you. Choose sports that involve teams so that you can turn it into a social event. The most important thing is that you are having a great time.
