People who lack self-awareness often display these 8 off-putting behaviors (without realizing it)

Handling criticism is a crucial part of personal and professional growth. However, those lacking self-awareness often struggle with it. They tend to see criticism as an attack rather than an opportunity for improvement.

The human brain is wired to perceive negative feedback as a threat. This instinctual reaction dates back to our ancestors when any form of negative feedback often meant danger.

However, in today’s world, constructive criticism is a tool for growth and improvement. But for people with low self-awareness, this biological response can make them defensive and resistant to feedback.

Communication is a two-way street. But for people lacking self-awareness, they often turn it into a one-way expressway, with them at the wheel.

Whether it’s cutting someone off mid-sentence or interjecting with their own thoughts without waiting for their turn, these individuals frequently interrupt others during conversations.

This behavior can be quite frustrating for the person on the receiving end. It sends a message that their opinions are less important or that what they’re saying is not worth the listener’s time.
