Possessiveness and self-centeredness are not the same thing. Inanimate objects serve as Sources of Narcissistic Supply. They attract people's attention and admiration. This is why narcissists are enamoured of status symbols, i.e., objects, which make others look, admire, envy, dream, compare, or aspire. Discarder narcissists do not like souvenirs and the memories they bring. They are afraid to get emotionally attached to them and then get hurt if the objects are lost or stolen or expropriated or taken by creditors. Objects, situations, voices, sights, colours
Narcissistic or self centered
This could be self-centered or narcissistic.
The trait of possessiveness is not a trait of a male; possessiveness is a human trait. In most cases, possessiveness is a symptom of insecurity. If you are associated with a person (male or female) who is possessive, you cannot 'fix' this trait. Only the possessive person can build the self-esteem to overcome it (if not by themself, then with professional help). The possessive person can't do this unless they sincerely want to do so for themself. You can't make them want to do it.

A self-centered person is often referred to as narcissistic or egocentric. They tend to focus primarily on themselves and their own needs, often lacking empathy or consideration for others.
A narcissistic wind is a term used to describe someone who is excessively self-centered or self-absorbed, disregarding the feelings or needs of others. It refers to a person who constantly seeks attention and admiration, often at the expense of those around them.
Narcissistic is a rather less than positive way of being. As such I can't really think of any 'nice' synonyms. However, some synonyms are vain, self-centered, egotistic, conceited.
While both terms refer to a focus on oneself, "self-centered" typically implies a lack of consideration for others, often resulting in narcissistic behavior. On the other hand, "selfish" suggests a tendency to prioritize one's own needs or desires over those of others without necessarily exhibiting narcissistic traits.

It seems like you might be referring to the term "narcissistic," which refers to someone who has an excessive interest in themselves and their own needs, often at the expense of others. Narcissistic individuals can be self-centered, lack empathy, and have an inflated sense of their own importance.
