who here is self absorbed

I am...for sure. was one of my biggest downfalls for awhile

but i learned at a young age you need to make people feel just as important.
i try to be very concious of "memememe" and "youyouyouyouyou". gotten much better as i've gotten older

sometimes without thinking though, the memememe will come out. its just human nature. but i like to think when i am memememe, at least it's entertaining or somewhat interesting for the other person

i've noticed the less i focus on myself (like flaws etc), the more i pay attention to others close to me and around me. even with clients, if i focus on giving them the best service and what's in their interest, instead of what's the easiest way for me to cash a check...complete shift in everything.
 
I have a good self image of myself. And new sense of well being :p
 
being self absorbed means you focus mostly only on yourself and your own life's experiences and you dont too much engage with other people's

i dont think it necessarily speaks to how you feel about yourself

Im pretty self absorbed. I do my thing and frankly I dont care much about what others are doing. it's both good and bad. I dont get caught up in other people's problems but i also am not the type to offer up myself as a support to others either. however, if asked, Im always willing to help out a friend or family member - I never say no in that respect

would u consider self-centered = self-absorbed? or is there a subtle difference?
Click to expand...
yeah in my mind there is a subtle difference between the two

self-centered: you act in a way that suggests you believe the world revolves around you

self-absorbed: you act in a way that suggests you are really just caught up in your own life and what you have going on

My lips are chapped. I need some chapstick.

Me too!!! LOL! I told my husband one day after losing weight

"Honey, life is so great. I can't NOT look cute anymore!". He just smiled, shook his head, put his hand on my shoulders and said, "Hey babe, promise me one thing. You will never tell anyone else that, ok? It sounds really bad but I know you have a good heart."

Anyway, yes, I am amazed by myself in a really good way and use that energy to hopefully bring light, peace and happiness to others. I try to not make it all about me all the time. Sometimes I fail though.

Reminds me of something that I read from the Dalai Llama. He was talking about how self-love is important. He said that we are flowers that we give to others. Nurture and love your flower. It makes others happy.

YES! I am much more capable of bestowing love, grace and all the good things of life upon others when I:

a) take time for myself to rejuvenate, relax, workout
b) have my own life even if it just means chatting on EF or going out alone
c) get adequate rest so I'm not worn out
d) budget $ to spend on my physical appearance and DO it

Hmm..if these things make me self absorbed, it's totally working for me and I highly reccomend it to other moms all the time. I don't buy the whole "I'm a mom so I must sacrifice my sanity and look like shit all day in my pajamas thing"

that's not being self absorbed.

problem is people are actually so selfish, they call YOU selfish sometimes for taking care of your own needs.

it's a huge hypocrisy.


you can't help someone else unless you can help yourself first.and that's a great mentality to have.

Thanks for your affirmation. Even the self-absorbed, self proclaimed cuties like to hear it from others. LOL!

So do you as always :)
 
Me....
The whole world revolves around me, every thing is for me, and everything is about me. And you if you don't like it, get over it.

:friends: We see eye-to-eye on this. I am trying to help a friend see it this way. She thinks it's ok to have the "woe is me, I'm an ugly mom all for the sake of the kids" mentality. That's a crappy way to live. I've tried it. LOL!

According to that definition I'm totally self absorbed, always have been. I am always working on something (usually 5 things) or improving myself in some way physically or mentally so I tend to put those 1st before almost everything else. So far its working out ok for me lol.
 
I am concurrently working on body and spirit. I dunno where I'll stand tomorrow.... thats just my nature as of right now at this very moment.
 
my bodybuilding, voracious appetite for knowledge, drive and ambition are all compensatory measures to boost a lagging self esteem. these traits have conspired to make me a text book alpha male. low self esteem has been a wonderful gift! i combat my selfish nature by helping others and not being judgmental. the one thing in life that is guaranteed is suffering and doing our best to alleviate suffering should be top priority. this is not my bullshit internet persona, it is how i live.

I have noticed an influx of telemarketing calls at my work since you were released. Hope thats just coincidence, cause I'd hate to have to kill you.
