the erroneous placement of oneself at the egocentric epicenter of a relationship regardless of depth or titles with an extreme emphasis placed upon third party perceptions, which dictates emotional treatment of others.
A woman or man whom has been so traumatized by pass experiences that they exhibit an almost innate ability to push away the concern and love of other individuals out of fear of experiencing a residual let down.

The woman's "emotional selfishness" would not allow her to have a romantic relationship with the man of her dreams, because the scars from past relationship crippled her romantic courage.

Get the Emotional Selfishness mug.
A person who lacks initiative and lies about emotions to twist your reality.

For example,
Jealousy= possessiveness.

Love= humiliation.

Disappointed= scapegoating unknown outsiders.

To exploit vulnerable good people while treating them unfairly and calling them bad, to guilt trip them in getting more without ever trying to make it up, voluntary or giving anything back.
How can doormats not see that he is a selfish emotional manipulative demeaner? He is not going to share his authority, money, status etc. Look how many people he exploited unfairly.
