Just want to take a quick straw pole here, no one particular situation to relate this too. I've also been reading a few of the threads on here and it has me wondering.
Is being selfish, looking out for what is best for you, really that bad?
I have had a few instances of late where things have happened where I have just thought 'fuck it', I'm going to do what I want, what I think is best for my and my DS, what causes the least hassle/ least detriment to me. Because honestly, I'm tired of putting myself out for people who just wouldn't think to do the same when I needed it!
Is that really so bad?
I mean yes, there are times and places where you can be helpful to others and do things for family and friends because you love them. But is it really so bad to put your and your families needs before those of others?
If you don't then who will?
Do you always do things if it benefits others? Is being selfish really that bad as long as you're not intentionally hurting anyone be doing so?
