The saying is true that everyone has that one friend that you cant take anywhere, that’s outspoken, and that is obnoxious Well I have that friend. I have been friends with this guy since we were school age and it wasn’t bad or at least I never noticed it. Maybe he suppresses it due to my personality was the complete opposite. When i finally got to see this i was very surprised. One day after hanging out we decided to go to a bar and have drinks. While sitting at the bar ordering drinks, and socializing with people and we receive our drinks the bar tender gave my friend the wrong drink. All of a sudden I seen my friend go into this rage on the bar tender because of receiving the wrong drink. He was using inappropriate language, being disrespectful to the bar tender and the more I tried to call him down the worse he became. It went from him and the bar tender to him and others which turned into a bar fight. My friend would be an example of egocentric person. Human egocentric, the natural human tendency “to view everything within the world in relationship to one self to be self centered”.The human egocentric is best understood as having two basic tendencies:

1. The tendency to see the world in self serving terms, to constantly seek that which makes one feel good, that which one selfishly wants at the expense of the rights and needs of others.

2. The tendency to have the desire to maintain its beliefs.

This is how my friend thinks, he doesn’t care about what others and he believes what he does is right no matter the situation or circumstance. To make the situation more rationally he could have used basic decision making skills such as having self discipline. By controlling his actions he could have avoided an argument with the bar tender that escalated to something much more. Another form of rational decision making would be evaluating alternatives. If he would have evaluated different alternatives he could have known the pros and cons of reacting negatively or positively to the situation.
