It’s challenging to hold the attention of someone determined to be bored. When a person is selfish, self-absorbed, or narcissistic, they gauge the value of your actions solely by how much satisfaction you bring them. In other words, they're content with your efforts as long as you cater to their desires. However, the moment they tire of what you offer, they’ll demand you change to better suit their whims. The truth is, selfish people are never truly satisfied, and the arrogant are never easily appeased. So, if you notice that your ongoing efforts have no lasting impact on such individuals, and that their happiness depends entirely on you meeting their expectations. it’s worth recognising this dynamic as hazardous to your emotional well-being. Prioritising your emotional health is crucial, and knowing when to step back can be empowering.

It's difficult to maintain the attention of someone who is set on being dissatisfied. Self-centered individuals, those people who are selfish, narcissistic, or self-absorbed tend to evaluate others only by the pleasure they provide. As long as you’re catering to their desires, they’re content, but the moment they grow bored, they’ll demand a change in your behaviour to serve their needs. People like this are insatiable, and their arrogant demands can never be fully met. So, if you find yourself endlessly trying to please someone who’s only happy when things go exactly their way, recognise that this may be harmful to your emotional health. I think trying to satisfy a narcissist is like attempting to drink the ocean with a teaspoon,it’s an endless, exhausting pursuit.
