People are divided into two large groups. Some people think about the well-being of others. Others only care about themselves. It is to them that this article is dedicated. We are talking about egoists. What are they? Why do they behave this way? Is it good or bad to neglect other people's interests? What to do if the interlocutor behaves like an egoist? How to build a dialogue with him? Is it possible to re-educate him? Is it easy to start a relationship? What can you expect when communicating with an egoist? We invite you to look into these issues together.

Who is an egoist?

An egoist is a person who is guided in his actions solely by his own interests, without worrying about the inconvenience he causes to others. The word “egoism” (like “egocentrism”) is derived from the Latin “ego” - “I”. This term does not have an exact translation into Russian, but the word “self-love” can be considered a conditional synonym. Selfishness is behavior in which a person’s actions are dictated solely by his own interests. Accordingly, an egoist is one who cares only about himself.

Selfishness is a natural feature of the behavior of most people, formed by evolution. But its scale is different for everyone, and it happens that a person has a consumerist attitude towards everyone around him, including those closest to him. He is not able to assess the consequences of his own actions, and his relationship with his family becomes abnormally consumerist and resembles parasitism.

In fairness, it should be noted that moderate egoism is a natural phenomenon characteristic of everyone. And people who use this term do not always correctly understand who an egoist is and what behavioral features are characteristic of him.

After sale

The final stage of the transaction in retail sales is the transfer of the receipt to the buyer. This is an agreement that confirms the fact of purchase. When using online cash registers, a QR code is displayed on the receipt. This is all the information about the current transaction, with which you can verify the authenticity. To do this, the buyer needs a special program for his smartphone. But if the data was processed in a unified alcohol accounting system, then there are two such codes. One for all goods, the second specifically for alcoholic products. Moreover, the alcohol code will be common, regardless of the number of units sold. Scanning this QR will allow the buyer to find out all the information about the quality and manufacturer.

If there is a failure

If the app suddenly stopped working, does this mean that all sales of alcohol-containing products should be stopped? Not really. This module can even work offline. Simply when access is restored, all accumulated information is immediately redirected to the server. Therefore, there will be no financial losses for the legal entity. But it’s worth remembering that you can only work in this offline mode for three days. After this time, if the problem has not yet been resolved, you will have to stop the implementation until the problem is resolved.

How to recognize an egoist?

In any situation, an egoist strives to satisfy his own needs, regardless of the interests of the people around him. He doesn't care that he might cause inconvenience or harm to anyone. However, it is usually well camouflaged. Therefore, in order to recognize an egoist, you must first pay attention to such behavioral features as:

• tendency to blame others for one’s own failures;
• inability to listen;
• unshakable confidence in one’s own rightness;
• ignoring comments;
• tendency to brag;
• attempts to manipulate others;
• display of material wealth;
• desire to be the center of attention;
• the tendency to evaluate people by wealth, success, intelligence and other “status” characteristics.

If a person systematically demonstrates several of the listed signs, you have a natural egoist. But there is no need to rush to conclusions after noticing one or two signs. Don't forget that moderate selfishness is the norm, and almost anyone can periodically demonstrate selfish behavior while remaining a responsive and caring person.

Pros of an egoist

Able to distinguish his own goals and desires from others

Many of us tend to be influenced by others. We spend a lot of effort on achieving goals imposed by public opinion, parents or friends. Sometimes we sacrifice our own interests and desires simply because we were asked to help. Of course, altruism is a good quality, but not so much that it allows you to manipulate yourself. Feel free to show selfishness by making choices in favor of your own interests.

Achieves goals more often and faster

Who is an egoist? This is a person who always clearly understands what he wants! A dubious goal cannot be imposed on him, the value of which he does not see. But when solving his own problems, he is ready to act quickly and harshly, without thinking that he might interfere or harm someone. The ability to go ahead makes egoists more successful.

Knows how to say “No!”

Almost every person has encountered a situation in life when they were unable to respond in time to say “no” to an unwanted offer or request. Egoists know an excellent way to rid themselves of other people's worries: if consent obviously does not bring benefits. They simply answer “No!”

Responsibility for non-compliance with standards

Information on sanctions applicable in case of refusal to install EGAIS is contained in Article 14.19 of the Administrative Code. Accordingly, this is a fine of 150 to 200 thousand rubles. And also a specific punishment for the head of this enterprise in the amount of 15 thousand rubles.

It is worth understanding that the provided norm applies in the case when there has been an actual sale of a unit of goods that has not been registered on the FS server. In addition, even if all the software is installed and connected, but the product was sold without registration, exactly the same penalties are implied. That is, if for some reason the seller did not record the excise tax barcode with a scanner, this measure comes into effect. If there is no way to read the code, the product must be written off and its sale is prohibited. In addition, the same rules apply when receiving products from the supplier; you cannot keep a unit of product and sell it if the excise duty has been damaged.

Cons of an egoist

Problems with socialization

It is more difficult for a selfish person to get close to people. He rarely becomes the “life of the party”; he is bad at establishing relationships with colleagues and making friends. Usually his social circle consists of a small number of not particularly close friends.

Inability to build personal relationships

It is difficult for an egoist to build romantic relationships. Even if there are sincere feelings between him and his potential “soul mate,” his behavior interferes with rapprochement. He takes into account only his own interests, makes excessive demands on his partner, does not ask his opinion, tries to amaze him with his “exclusivity” and almost never gives compliments.

Lack of people willing to help

Anyone can need help. And the egoist has the hardest time in such a situation. He has few close people. In addition, the egoist believes that each person should cope with difficulties on their own, without asking for help.

Reasons for selfishness

Selfishness is a character trait that develops in childhood. Most often it is a consequence of a number of typical mistakes made by parents:

1. Possessive attitude
   . Parents treat the child as property and do not consider him as a person. They do not teach him independence and responsibility, as a result of which he grows up to be a capricious egoist, inclined to blame others for his mistakes.
2. Excessive care and boundless love
   . Often parents simply do not allow their child to become independent, caring for him until adolescence. As a result, he grows up to be a selfish and dependent person, unable to adequately assess reality and take into account the interests of others.
3. Selfish attitude
   . By setting a bad example, you can raise an excellent egoist. If parents are not interested in their child’s life and constantly tell them how hard it is for them, then the child will grow up fixated exclusively on his own problems.
4. Lack of attention
   . Today, parents spend less time with their children, allowing them to have fun on the Internet and play computer games from an early age. Of course, such a child will not receive basic communication skills and normal social interaction.

Results.

So, there are two types of egoism. We can talk about healthy selfishness, which is rooted in psychological abundance, and contrast it with unhealthy selfishness, which is rooted in psychological poverty. Healthy selfishness requires self-love. A person driven by healthy selfishness is motivated by the desire to become a unique individual, learn, grow and be happy. Balanced, healthy egoism is not a bad thing. It is the determination that you too have the right to happiness. You can't shame people for doing good for themselves. When we prioritize ourselves, we help ourselves and everyone around us. In modern society, we really lack self-love. We need to think more seriously about creating conditions that allow people to develop their unique intellectual, creative and emotional abilities, the freedom to affirm the integrity of their being, and the opportunity to satisfy their basic needs. This will lead to a decrease in hatred and a decrease in the desire to destroy oneself and others.

Don't be afraid to love yourself, take care of yourself, and do things that benefit you. This is not selfishness, it is a mindset of happiness that creates the ability to love and care for others.

How to deal with an egoist?

In personal life, selfishness is guaranteed to become the cause of groundless accusations and quarrels. Building a relationship with a selfish person is extremely difficult, but this is not a reason to refuse the opportunity to be with your loved one. To learn to avoid unpleasant situations, you need to clearly understand who an egoist is and how he perceives the world around him.

We bring to your attention some tips from psychologists, using which you can get along even with an extremely selfish person:

1. You can't just walk away from an egoist
   . If the relationship is not satisfactory, it is usually broken off. But it’s not so simple - if you try to leave him, you will find yourself to blame for all his problems. And don’t hope that he will rethink anything or understand and call you back. Instead, he will colorfully tell mutual acquaintances and describe in detail on social networks how you betrayed him and abandoned him. Therefore, there are only two options: find a way to adequately break off the relationship (at the initiative of the egoist) or seek a compromise.
2. Don't try to re-educate an egoist
   . You will spend a lot of emotional energy trying to re-educate, but you will not get any results. Selfishness is established in childhood, and trying to correct this deficiency in an adult is practically useless. It is better to change your own attitude towards your partner and always be prepared for the characteristic features of his behavior.
3. Try to influence not the character of the egoist, but his attitude towards you
   . Demand more attention and respect from him, explain what characteristics of behavior you do not want to tolerate. Gradually, he will get used to taking your interests into account and learn to restrain his own selfish nature.
4. Demonstrate mirror selfish behavior
   . Let him feel how unpleasant the selfishness of a loved one is. Behave indifferently, do not put unnecessary obligations on your shoulders. If your partner demands more attention from you, but refuses to change, perhaps the only reasonable option really is separation.

If you have to live with an egoist, it is important to build the relationship correctly and maintain a reasonable balance. Discuss mutual obligations, agree not to blame each other, but to jointly find a solution to any misunderstandings that arise. When dealing with an egoist, it is important to avoid quarrels, accusations and claims. By learning this, you can build really strong relationships without unnecessary negativity.
