[Answered on Quora.com by Sean Kernan]
General self-serving and selfishness are completely exhausting.
The types who have to make every conversation about them. They change the subject back to their own problems or feel the need to one-up your story in front of everyone.
They often lack empathy and don’t know how to sympathize with people. You can generally spot these people from a mile away.
To deal with it, I typically find a way to go do something else and get out of their presence. I’ve lost my patience before, though, and told a guy that not everything needed to revolve around him. It caused an awkward pause in the group conversation, which I didn’t mind, because it gave me a reason to go get a drink at the bar.
This is why I am an introvert, and I avoid cocktail parties at all costs.
