Are YOU selfish????

Reading some of these threads tonight got me to thinking.

Selfish is (as defined in Websters):
having such regard for one's own interests and advantage that the happiness and welfare of others become of less concern than is considered right or just; too much concerned with one's own welfare.

I think alot of people in this world are selfish, and I don't understand why. What is so wrong with putting yourself aside and putting someone else first? Someone tell me why people are so afraid to do that these days.

I am not a selfish person. I would do anything for just about anyone...but once I am walked all over forget it. I think that being able to be a 'selfless' person means trusting when others don't, standing up for what you believe in without impending your beliefs on other, doing the right thing to be an example to those who don't, and definitely...loving when you have been previously hurt.

This post may not make very much sense...but it is what I feel inside alot of the times. I guess because I just don't understand selfish people...

So...are YOU selfish?

Oh, and...feel free to elaborate on your answer...whatever it may be.

everyone has to care for themselves somewhat otherwise no one else will. but i believe others will kill their best friend/family member for a dollar or to get ahead and i wouldn't do that
 
If all my friends were jumping off a bridge, I would be the one catching them...
 
So...are YOU selfish?

No . . . I don't sell fish . . . But I like Tuna. J/K ;)

Seriously though, I try not to make that assumption for myself. Instead I would rather let others around me who know me to make that determination.
 
I don't trust many people, its my shield, not being selfish IMO

I don't try to be selfish, sometimes I am though without realizing it
 
Okay...I am not naive enough to think that you can just totally forget about yourself and your own well being. I understand that you have to look after yourself first and foremost...

BUT...there are some people who just go to the extreme. To the point that they would really hurt someone else just because of what they want to do.

Is this making sense?
 
I'll elaborate. Fuck em'. It's all about me when it all comes down to it. I'm the only one who has to live my life. I'm actually pretty generous with my inner circle, but if it comes down to me or them, you can bet your ass I'll choose me everytime. The only exception I can see, is if I had children or a wife. Anyone outside my circle I could give 2 shits about. I don't have time to waste on other people I have no feelings towards.

That is the best anwer. Myself, I would not maliciousy or intentionally harm another person, well without good reason at least. A good deal of the day I do think of myself though, but I am subject to random good deeds, don't tell anyone.

TRUE DAT........I HEAR YA BRO I HEAR YA.:fro:
 
Hi nightfly, thanx for the karma.

when i comes to some things i am very selfish, but some i am not. for example the gym, say a guy and myself walk up to a bench at the same time, i am not gonna ask him if he wants it, i am gonna walk over and take it, cause my gains come before his. another one is food, bottom line, nobody touches my food. i am not selfish at other things, though none come to mind :D
 
I've been called selfish, and I suppose I am. Or I was to a certain extent.

These days, I'm trying really, really hard not to be. I constantly question myself and my actions. I can be very manipulative when I want to be, and that's something i'm trying to change as well.

Most people are selfish without realizing it. Life is tough. It's hard to focus on others when you have your own problems...
 
why isnt this thread about me, this thread should be about me and me only, i dont want this thread to be about anything else but me. just post things about me.

no i dont feel im selfish at all.
 
Am I selfish?
Yep.
Know why?
Because if I take care of myself first then I can help take care of those around me.

That being said I think I understand your point about the threads here nightfly.

My opinion on alot of threads here and I have been/am guilty of it at times is so many people using here as an example whine about irrelevant shit instead of looking in the mirror and taking responsibility for themselves and stop worrying about what others are doing or supposedly have done to them.
This is selfishness at its worst.
 
I was brought up to believe that the no matter what your title, age, salary, social status, etc maybe that in no situation am I to believe that I am "better" than somebody else. Everyone deserves the opportunity to express their opionion, be treated with respect, and made to feel important. My Dad pounded the idea into me that the very person you turn your back on when they are in need, may very well be your own lifeline later in life.

I am a very generous person, and there is not much I wouldn't do for another person when asked. I strive everyday to treat everyone with respect and courtesty, and I always try to be understanding of others feelings and situations. Have I gotten burned or used because of this....Yes. But I have never compromised my beliefs as a result of it.
 
I'm not really selfish, i'm the kind of person who would do just about anything to help out one of my friends and I don't mind helping out people i don't know, its just my personality.

That is an awesome post, girl. That's exactly the way that I feel. The worst part IS when you get burned/used because of it. I think alot of the genuinely nice people get screwed over because of it.

I am not naive enough to think that will ever change, but it's nice to have a hope that maybe one day...I can make a difference in someone elses life because I put them before myself.

Wow, a great mind to go with that sweet smile. Anyway, I try to be fair and not selfish, but I think human nature affects all of us. Sometimes, people are selfish in kind of a more noble way, such as when they want things for their own family at the expense of everyone else.

I completely concur. Excellent post toga...and Fly Girl. I would post my own views but you two ladies have already eloquently summed them up for me. I even have to agree with the point that some people will take advantage on a person that is unselfish. It has happened to me on a few occasions...but they never screw me over twice.

YOU DO NOT EXIST FOR YOURSELF

Success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support of others. You can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed. When you can put yourself in another's place, you will know why they think and do certain things. Always think in terms of what the other person wants. You can get anything in life you want if you will just help enough other people to get what they want. Doing things for others always pays dividends. You're not an island. You're a piece of the continent, a piece of the planet. Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows. Help someone's boat across a river, and you find, your own boat has reached the shore too.

Hannibal...that was beautiful! I am going to print that out! :)
 
I have always done for others! I do it quietly though. The last thing I want when doing for others is recognition. An article just recently came out in the newspaper about a good friend of mine who lost both legs due to a disease and is in a wheelchair and he is into trying to improve himself physically. He mentioned my name several times in this article for my help (both financially and emotionally) and to be honest with you it embarassed the hell out of me to see my name in the newspaper.

I know I cut up on here and can be a real smartass at times but if you knew me I think you would see me as a very unselfish person who would drop everything at the drop of a hat to help out others.

I know nobody believes this but it's the truth!
 
yes i am. am i ashamed of it? not really. i'd rather not be when it isn't necessary or when it is important but overall, yes i am.

luckily most people close to me have grown accustomed to it.
 
Yes...I am very selfish.

I am selfish. However, I will put others before myself. I don't "keep" a lot of people in my life and I won't be walked all over. It's funny how it works, but it goes both ways for me.

no. explain what you mean.

i consider myself selfish. i really don't like it when it isn't necessary (i.e. a minor sacrifice on my part will alleviate a large amount of problems on someone else's part) and i try to stop doing that when i realize that i am but overall if all things are pretty much equal (sacrafice for sacrafice) i am selfish. probably a little more biased in favor of selfishness on my part (a minor sacrifice on my part is more important than a semi moderate problem on someone else's).

Thank you....this is what I mean.

Alot of people on here showed that they are not truly selfish people...and for that I am thankful for. There needs to be less of them in the world...I think it would then be a better place.
 
Monday night I was supposed to get off from work at 11p.m. but my relief came in at 10...so I got to go home early. It was raining 3/4 on a inch per hour and a lot had flooded in my area. I thought...sounds like fun. I took my truck down all the backroads all the way home, well...I stopped out by the county airport and noticed an S-10 that had floated off the side of the road into the ditch. Not for sure how it was stuck...but it was. It just couldn't get traction. There was a mini-van trying to pull it out. I almost drove right past it in all of the rain...but had to stop. We hooked the chain to my towing platform hitch and pulled it out. Old man and his wife going to Wal-Mart to get her some meds...she was sick. She was scared to death and this old man was not far from it. God Bless America.

Didn't even know who they were but in this small town I'm sure I'll run into them again. You should have seen me...couldn't ruin my uniform shirt and badge...so I took it off, standing in the rain...hair falling down...all the gel had came out...ha ha...I was a funny site.

B fold...that is awesome.

I was with my grandma one year down in bumfuck AL somewhere. We got a flat tire and this nice man who we didn't even know helped us out and everything. It was very appreciated. It's people like that who make the world go around.

Needless to say, my grandmother wrote a letter to the town newspaper about that man...and they published it. She was thrilled to death!
 
starfish: Ha ha..nope...I didn't have my harness or my rock climbing shoes in my truck. :)
