Unrealized selfishness, or a superiority complex?

maybe I’m just getting touchy because I have no internet at home to keep me occupied, so I have to spend more time with others than I’m use to to leech of public interwebs. I don’t know, but I’m noticing some things about several people that are going to drive me absolutely batty.

In general people are selfish. This is something I’ve come to live with, because I’m sorry, but at certain times in your life you do need to come first, and you do need to do what you need to do. You dig? I’ve spent a long time putting other people’s needs before mine, and right now I’m focusing on me. that doesn’t mean my friends and family aren’t important- they are, in fact they’re the most important people in my life. They always will be.

I’m not selfish to the point of hurting anyone, or of blatantly being rude. I just decided back in the summer that for once in my life I’m numero uno. I’m human and we’re generally selfish creatures.

But my biggest pet peeve is when someone else goes on about how selfish everyone is but them. Sure sometimes they may have completely valid points, but most of the time they don’t…and most of the time the reasons they’re saying others are being selfish for are selfish reasons in and of themselves (does that make sense?).

I mean, sure sometimes people piss me off, but if you’re only ever getting pissed off and complaining when everyone else isn’t revolving their plans around you, you should stop and think…“wait a minute, who is being selfish here? Me, or them?”

I’m just reaching a level where my tolerance is akin to none. It’s one thing if you realize you’re being a bit selfish too, but it’s another thing when you’re trying to say you’re a completely selfless person. That type of person just doesn’t exist, and you can’t convince me otherwise. Sorry. It doesn’t make you a bad person, it just makes you human.

  1. Yeah if someone is blabbing about how someone’s selfish then 9/10 they’re selfish themselves… it just runs hand in hand.

    Just do your own thing and true friends will come around… you’re at a place in your life where you need to focus on yourself and get over the things in the past, so don’t let “the add-ons” stray you from that.
