How do you handle people that are totally self centered?

We have all been there and done that…. People who are totally oblivious to others…not only what others are feeling or dealing with, but never hear a word others say, etc.

I love my mother….she went through a lot to rear my brother and myself. But, when she calls me…which is rare. It’s never to ask how I’m doing, but the convesation goes like this. “Hey, what are doing?” “I’m out of Poligrip…when are going to get it?” loll She has always been about her…but, having said that, I do understand why because of what she went through and I overlook it.
