Signs of conceit

As in title what are the signs of someone being conceited?

I have to say it's personal question as yesterday I got feedback from a friend that I'm conceited and can't listen to anyone. Of course internal overthinking + emotional mode: on :/

How is it that I feel I behave vastly different from what people tell me I do?

Disillusionment / narcissism?

I've been called conceited many times. I don't care and don't wanna know why.

It's their problem not mine.

You know that is your friend’s perspective. It doesn’t mean it’s true. Conceited would mean you think you’re all that in a bad way I guess. But is it really conceit or confidence? You don’t listen to anyone? Well is it because they are trying to make you be a certain way. There isn’t anything wrong with being you. Or is it because you just don’t listen like are not open-minded to other viewpoints?

Apparently I need more info lol

Definitely not confidence.

I'm open-minded, but I tend to worry too much about people close to me, expressing that and giving unwanted advice, especially on my period.

I also talk much when excited, being somewhat incoherent and I forget some things people tell me after some time.

Also I miss some things in conversations, or take things personally and get paranoid.

Usually it's 1-2 times a month max.

I know I have to work on these things, but criticism, even constructive, makes me regress.

I sometimes have that attitude, but other times get all emotional.

Thanks anyway 🙂

I think your friend is using the wrong word. To be "conceited" after reading this is when you have NO feelings; not even a facial expression for an animal or human being that is being hurt right under your nose and you walk away because you're minding your business because they are not hurting you; lack of empathy/sympathy. You can be "conceited" because of your facial features knowing that when you look into a mirror you look at it, fix your hair/make up; or don't have to because everything is in place. You're conceited in my eyes when you have money and don't care to share it with others; so you spend and spend because you "want, want" (boast/brag that you have money and show it/flaunt it).

You give advice esp when you're on your period? Meaning what foods to avoid eating/drinks to avoid when on your menstrual cycle? You're just like me. IF, we talk about foods and dieting, THEN I will give my two cents worth. But to give advice without being asked is what I USED to do. I had to stop doing that! At work I've caught myself when listening to two people talk (I USED to "butt in" and tell they what I think/did, etc). No one told me otherwise and I realized this many years later. I HAD to stop myself from doing so. It just takes time. Since your friend called you "conceited" tell her she is using the wrong adjective because we all know you're not. You may tell her, "I KNOW I'm a butt-in-skie, but I am working on that."

It doesn’t sound conceited to me. Sounds more like you are so much in your head that it makes it hard to listen, not that you don’t want to. Anxiety more likely. What about your first house? Do you have planets there? Do you view everything people say in how it affects you? Or do you have trouble concentrating and get distracted easily? I know so many questions lol You’re a Cap right? What sign is the person who said this?

It is hard to get criticism. I don’t think Caps do too well with it. But if you can think that this comes from her perspective, then you can see how valid it is or not. I think if we communicate how we are feeling it helps. But some people can’t understand. That’s okay you know? It just means you take what they say not so seriously. You remember where it comes from. And well Caps are stubborn too & sometimes you might not take what they say protecting yourself. So it’s just good to be aware. I’m Cap dominant & a Sag so ya know I do this too.. lol.

I'm Cap stellium (Sun, Merc, Jupiter, Neptune) + 3rd house stellium (Sun, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus);

1st House planets: Moon and Pluto.

He's Gem Sun, Merc, Mars with Taurus moon & Scorp rising conjunct mine.

I don't necessarily view it as affecting me, it just does, esp. when people talk to me and I assume some things, like they attitude towards me. I get distracted too, often, when I have that thought regarding topic we're talking about and I want to find the right moment to say it.
