Differs for what person I'm dealing with.
My niece; I'd give her anything....
Some random fucko, I'd won't piss on them if they were on fire!
I don't care about anybody else. Why should I?

I don't believe you. You are probably just irritated right now. You have been kind to people on here everyday.
Of course being nice doesn't cost anything, when we put ourselves out for others is much harder. Such as giving people your time, money, etc. I'm a lot more guarded (selfish maybe) in those areas.

My wife says I need to learn the word "no". I am constantly helping others in my community. Seems I would learn not to lend people money after promising to pay me back. I could fill a ledger with the amount of money owed me. I fear people refer to me as "lollipop" because they know me to be a sucker for a hardship story.
I had an employee who needed $2400 to help catch her bills up. She had been with me for almost 3 years, so I loaned it to her and she agreed to let me take it out of her paycheck over 12 months. She quit 3 days later and that was over five years ago. No recourse.
I have learned to never expect anything back you have loaned. If you do get it back it's a bonus.

I'm in my best form when I'm @ EF. In person, I'm fucking hideous...biteme said:I don't believe you. You are probably just irritated right now. You have been kind to people on here everyday.
I did try to be nice to some lady that was trying to chat about her stupid fucking aerobics class while I was lifting. The old Me would told her to fuck off in under a second. I returned 4 replies. I was very nice....
Im more of a self-centered person than a selfish person. I guess that means that i tend to focus or get caught up in whats going on in my little own world alot. But Im certainly not "out for myself". And I am giving of myself to others. I can put the needs of others ahead of my own. Um so i guess Im in the middle too, biteme.

In terms of career and ambition, I'm the most selfish person alive. I live to make money -- everything else is secondary. I'm hyper aggressive, and beating the competition in a business deal is the best feeling in the world. Get the fuck out of my way or die. Gordon Gecko is my hero. (That said, keeping within the boundries of the law is a good thing. The busness world should be tough, but it should also be fair, imo.) And don't EVER waste my time, or I'll gut you like a fucking pig.
Socially, I'm very giving and spend time and money with no qualms. I love helping people out and do so freely, with no complaints. My friends and family are all I really have, so I have to be nice to them. lol

depends on who and what it is, I am 100 % selfish with my grandkids,meaning I want all there hugs and kisses. With my husband I am 100 % unselfish because I give him all my love and I do anything for him ,and give him anything to make him happy and contented. With my kids, I would do anything I could to help them, and they have all my love , there isn't anything they can do to lose my love,, never. With my friends, I am unselfish because I would give them most anything I have , at least share it with them, and most important my friendship and love.. with stranger I am nice but ,depends what they want from me, I would never give them money, but I would and I have taken them out to eat, if they ask for money for food, but i would Never let people , or animals go hungry.. ok, now ya all know, I am a softy. and unselfish

I'm extremely selfish, but most people don't notice it, because i'm not very materialistic. So I won't haunt you about $1.50 I borrowed you and I might be a pushover when it's about something irrelevant but deep down it's all about nr 1
then again nr 1 is sometimes best helped by helping others. moral mental selfish masturbation.

Unfortunately I have to admit that I am a pretty selfish person. I'd give myself an 8
Take these forums for instance. A lot of times I am lazy and will just read my own threads, or threads I'm extremely interested,
And I'll ignore everyone elses threads, due to lack of interest or time.
Yea, I also tend to budge in front of people, drive around town like I should always be the first at stop signs, etc.
I think what saves me from being an all out selfish person is my conscience. If someone asks me for my time or something, and I know they need it really bad, I will give in. I also have a thing against doing any form of harm to anyone in order to get or boost my own needs. This keeps me being a good person to some degree.

I can be pretty damn selfish at times, and that's not something I am proud to admit. Sometimes I want things to go exactly my way and I don't want to accept any less. And then there are those times when I am very selfish when it comes to my own feelings. I don't want to share them or myself with anyone and I don't.

I don't want to be considered selfish. Let's just say that I have needs and I look out for me before anyone else.

I'm not selfish.. but i think im self involved. not sure if that makes sense. i think i come off as being alot more giving than i am. i luv making other people happy, but thats because that brings me personal gratification as well.. does that make sense?

If you really think about it - the people that typically seem the least selfish are, by definition, the most selfish. i.e. teachers, psychologists, trainers. A teacher gets off on bringing knowledge into a child's life and making them a better/smarter person. The motivation is the feeling they get from helping someone - that person being helped is secondary. That's a general statement, obviously, but something to think about. It is actually the only situation I can think of where someone is selfish, but it has a positive effect on others.
