If you're worried about being a self-centred(以自我为中心的) person, that shows you've already taken an important step towards change. Here is a useful list of simple things you can try that can help you focus(关注) on yourself and more on the needs of others. Even small changes in your daily life can make a big difference!
Focus on listening instead of talking. Give others your full attention and really hear them out. Self-centred people often make conversations go around themselves and they are easy to get bored when the focus isn't on them. If this sounds like you, you can break that habit! Give others a chance to speak and do your best to show that you're really listening.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Imagining yourself in their situations helps you understand them better. If your friends are telling you about something that happened to them, you can try to ask yourself how you'd feel and what you'd need if you were them. Then, keep those things in mind when you reply to your friends.
Use fewer "I" and "me" sentences. Don't always want to talk about yourself in every conversation. You can't focus on anyone else if you're always talking about yourself. Try to actively lower the number of "I" and "me" sentences you make in daily conversations. Studies show that talking about yourself less often can make you happier and healthier. so try to remind(提醒) yourself of that.
