Are you selfish?

[Ninastar]

So I would never have said I was a selfish person until recently. I've started to notice how selfish/vain I really am and I don't like it. I'm hoping I get better in the new year.

Would you say you are selfish? poll coming up

[King Gizzard]

Probably with food..but overall not really

[Z]

I've become a lot more selfish since I moved out of the house, mostly out of necessity - I've found that if I'm not out for myself then I'm just going to get ****ed over mercilessly by other people. I don't think being selfish is a bad quality when you're an adult. You're taught not to be as a child so it's sort of ingrained in you from a young age that you should always put others first, share things etc - but **** that, selfish people don't do that and they get ahead in life. I'm not endorsing it per se, I'm just saying it's not the wholly terrible quality that people make it out to be, things stop being so black and white when you get older.

[MTVN]

Can be, try not to be most of the time but sometimes I can only be bothered to really think about myself and not care about other people

[Black Dagger]

Only with food.

If I've got chocolate, I want to eat it by myself.

[InOne]

Not really, I don't let myself get screwed over though.

I'm not that selfish, but that spanking offer was too tempting.

[Locke.]

Not at all. I'm a saint

[Brother Leon]

Only when playing football tbh.

I'm a really bad sport when playing football. I thought about joining a team but I get too angry and push people

[Kizzy]

I am now, used to be a bit of a pushover then kind of rebelled.

[Stu]

Not a bit. I'm pretty good with my time and I'm the BEST HOUSEMATE EVAR because I always bake cakes and make tea for visitors and pass joints. Good joints, too.

I'm basically a dirty hippy who just happens to have the whole cynical thing and interest in gothic music and imagery goin' on.

..I think everyone's selfish to a degree and has to be...we all have to 'preserve' our own environment..otherwise we wouldn't be able to be of much use to help anyone else anyway...I think it's just when you stop being aware of other people around you and their needs and wishes..and put yourself above everything else, that you maybe have to wonder if you've got the balance right....

[AnnieK]

I am selfish when it comes to my family I guess. I want them to have the best u can get.

[Cherie]

As I've grown older I've become more selfish in certain situations. I'd like to think that I can be selfless at times as well though. Jeez look at that I'm just perfect, its the saint option for me.

Ammi, FTW. This is the umbrella to anything I could have said. Very well done. :hugesmile: xo

Never sold fish in my life tyvm :hmph:

...boom boom..as the lovely Marcus would say....I'll even give you a joker smiley for that Jake...which is very rare indeed...:joker:....

[joeysteele]

I hope not and that I would never be seen as so.

I cannot answer the poll because I don't consider myself a Saint. Naturally I want the best for my family but I wouldn't want to achieve all I do the the full detriment of others.
I've already learned in life, understanding and compromise are other keys to success and I hope I stick to those things all through my life.

[Ammi]

..you don't have to consider yourself a saint Joey..the rest of us do that for you...we know for a fact that you are....:love:

...I'm sorry, I'm stalking you around the board this morning....

[Marcus.]

Not at all. I'm a saint

[Ammi]

..yes you are Marcus...St Marcus of TiBB...:love:...

[Niamh.]

No I don't think so, It's a horrible trait to have

[Ammi]

..stop being selfish Niamh..we can have it if we want to...:hmph:

[_Seth]

I don't know. It depends what with.

Like, I've made a pact with myself to not lend stuff out with anyone because I never get it back, even with people I trusted, but I think things like that are fair enough.

Just looked up the definition to be sure, and it massively includes consideration, which I think I am considerate.

[Kazanne]

I have to admit,I think I am sometimes,it depends what it is really

[Niamh.]

..stop being selfish Niamh..we can have it if we want to...:hmph:

Be quiet Verucca :nono:
