Don't think about what anyone else thinks. LOL No seriously if you look at all the answers they are telling you to do things that ultimately mean working on YOU. Isn't that still being self centered?

Darling there is nothing wrong with you and i wouldn't change YOU for anyone or anything else in the world. If people cannot accept you for who you are then so be it.

Having a strong Ego is very important in todays society and like you said you have your Mom to point out where you are going wrong. Listen to your Mom and follow her instruction and work on your faults. Keep loving yourself and "simply" love others.

I have no doubt in my mind you love other people and that my friend is what life is all about and therefore you TRULY are NOT self centered you simply have a strong ego.

take'em to a 3rd world missionary camp for a week

no cure for it

volunteer somewhere.

humility

a PUNCH in the FACE

voulenteer alot like at animal shelters and homeless shelters or old people homes...stuff like that gives people a big reality check

realize that everyone has their flaws, including you.

My sister is like that and she doesn't realize it. I'd say just try to do more stuff by yourself, don't ask things of other etc.

You need to meditate!

you need a hard **** boyfriend to ***** SLAP U, bend you over and teach you a lesson

Move to the right. Thank you dear!

ask God

Try being more chemicaly imbalanced

Community service.

Join things like Habitat for Humanity. It made me more aware of what I had and appreciate it more. As a result, I was able to better understand the situation others are in.

do some thing nice every now and then.

Well, start by doing little things to help the people around you, like wash dishes for mum, cook dinner, if someome drops something pick it up for them =) do little things to help people, they will appreciate it, and it will become a habit because you will start to realise it feels good to help other out and look out for them =)

Are you the only child and always get the attention anyways, or do you have siblings where you are always trying to get attention? Well if she keeps pointing flaws you are going to get more defensive and will seem more self centered.

Start thinking about how you can help or make someone besides yourself day a little better. Compliment people. Tell your mom she is not making it better by pointing out your flaws. Ask her for help.

I think u have to think about ur actitudesthat u did against ur Family, Friends and maybe the people that u love more... I think is a mental sickness and the cure is workingwith people without posibilities to live, poor people. I am sure that u will see what is the diference between u and these people..

good Luck, have a good and peacefull Xmas

I agree with the others. Do some volunteer work. They could really use you at a local nursing home, hospital, homeless shelter. etc. It will change you......for the better.

Are you under 18?
Grow up, get a job and go live on your own.
That would be a good start.

go to a shelter and you don't even have to help the folks going in JUST LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS JUST LIKE YOU :) If you have a SOUL..you may want to help these folks..and that may help you with you "self-centeredness" I hope so..

Insecurity brings about self centering. If you felt safe meeting tons of people you would be a good mixer. You can't mix because you seem to sense you are different. You are an outsider is all. Yes the players will be nice for a while but they can be nasty too and they stand in a group whereas you are an army of one. I think you can do a little pretending to impress your boss. You need to be able to act in life . You seem to be brave enough to ask us for help.

There really isn't a cure. Try volunteering at some local places, like animal shelters, missions, churches. Places like that. Doing stuff for other people may help.

Yes. Jesus centeredness. Focus on reading the books after John and before Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible in the New Life Version of the Bible. Let me know how you are doing. Your Mom is concerned about you. She knows shes not as powerful as you used to think she is. She needs you to come out and grow beyond what she can arrange for you without you being an active part of things. Even Jesus needed to obey his folks and take classes from John the Baptist after all. Kids who visit emergency wards with faith based groups to encourage patients who got busted up are much less likely to do foolish things like cross roads without care or crazy skateboarding. You aren't indestructible. Mom knows better than you.

I work about 2-3 hours a week at an animal shelter, and it's by far the most mentally healthy thing I manage to do. Similar to you, I can be extremely self centered. But when I get done with my shelter duty, I understand I'm a tiny piece of the whole puzzle, and nothing more.

there isn't one. although you could try thinking of other people in situations, like "what is THIS person thinking because I said this" if the answer to the question is a bad one, then apologize, honestly though, if your friends can't accept you in all of your self-centered-ness than maybe they aren't you true friends...or maybe they are and you just shouldn't listen to me.
