In todays world everyone is selfish but thry just pretend tht they are not at all selfish..wht is the meaning of being selfish? Isn't it just thinking abt ourself rather than others..if u can not selfish people may take advantage of you and nothing else...Do u feel tht selfishness is necessary to live in this bad world? I consider myself selfish..Do u commit tht u r selfish?

I'll not openly declare that I am a selfish person but I am not selfless either. Ofcourse when it comes to completing my job or helping others I would go for completing my work first. It's always been the me,my parents and the rest. All are selfish here. And being too good is also bad sometimes. This is just my perspective!! Cheers

There are two kinds of selfishness. There is the selfish that only benefits one person and may cause harm to the other and then there is the other which usually comes in the guise of kindness and is really meant to please the one person but ends up helping everyone involved.

Selfisness depends on a given situation, I myself can be selfish if that action can or will only put me down or destroy my reputation.

i would say the perfect example of that selfish thing are the corrupt politicians, they just think of their own wills, on how they would make theirselves more rich!! as for myself, when it comes to my family, i dont think im selfish, am all out to them and do all the things i could do for the family, but when it comes to relationship i would say im in the mmiddle, their is a tendency i could be selfish the s e x thing, and give my fully love to that certain guy, maybe because i want to have reservations for my self and dont want to get hurt if something bad would happen in our relationship!!happy lotting...

I am a selfish..... if anyone said that he is not selfish.... then he is the biggest selfish in the world........ According to me the biggest fish in the world is "selfish"... this is because, he eats, have, everything that other have....... so he becomes very big fish.... I am not selfish, at all times...... but, i am selfish comes in certain things.. i don't know when selfish comes..... but it comes.....

I think everyone is selfish atleast at times. I am very selfish when it comes to spending time with my family. I don't think that I am selfish about everything in my life though.
