friendship and selfish people

Selfish people can be seen now and then, I think some selfish people have friends maybe it's because they are not selfish to their friends. I know a person in my office, many people think she is selfish, but she is nice to me. She has many other advantages, too. It's clear that selfish is not a good quality for a friend , but a good friend needs a lot of qualities like you said: caring, sharing and helping each other, and so on. Nice day!

Hello! I think those selfish people are just sticking around because they still have something to hold on, like you money or companionship they cannot find anywhere else. You just wait when one of their friends has a great problem, and watch all those selfish "friend" disappear one by one. You see, in times of need will then you will see the greatness of a true friend.

There are people who are selfish and keep friendship with other people due to benefits. Selfish people needs other people to satisfy their greed and having friends is one way of achieving what they want.

I feel it is really difficult to maintain relations especially friendship when we have a selfish mind inside us. Such a character can create some simple troubles fro the bond and I had find such troubles my life itself. So we people must stay away such a character or a behavior from us.

My opinion about this is they pay their friend with money or anything. It look like not real friendship. No one like selfish person. I hate a person like that. I never want to know person like that, even I don't want to know their name. I believe, if we got problem they never want to care about us

well i think personaal that nothing is forever ive lost faith on a friend recently,he says im from a lower caste(in india )to my girlfriend and that she shud leave me,bah wahteva we aint talkin since then earlier we wer gud frnds....every one behaves as a gentleman on coffetable,see thier tru colours when u are ina problem

These selfish people could have something good in their hearts somehow. If they do keep friends, it might be they have found friends that would always abide by whatever they say, like a puppet.

Friendship is seldom (or should I say never?) equal. There is always one person investing/giving more as the other. It's always one who gives the advice, can always be called, is offering help also when there is not asked for it, etc. So the other one we could call more selfish. But the question is if this is true? Since the one who is always there, giving a hand is also selfish. He/she needs the friendship to feel worthfull/better/more happy/etc. So if it comes to being selfish both are, although in an other way. BTW I do not believe there is something wrong with being selfish. To many people it's very difficult to say: NO. To admit they do not have the time or energy or money to help out. And if they still do so they get themselves in deep trouble (and will not admit that and the friend will never know). They get (seriously) sick since they feel empty and abused after some time. If it comes to relationships (no matter what kind of) we all "need" something from someone else. It doesn't matter if it is about a good love, company, a new pair of socks, some advice, a hand on our shoulder or to feel save.

Well selfish people are there to act friendly and serve their own needs. You should not think about how they maintain frienships because they just hang around with people they think are important.
