I do not believe I am.But there are times that I am.For this being things for me.
I know my limitation on being selfish
Selfish is good and why not.You give,gave,etc.
But now and then you need to be selfish to take care of your self.

I used to be one of the most unselfish people you would ever know but sometimes people take advantage too much. I guess sometimes you just have to reel it in and sometimes learn to say no. That does not necessarily make me selfish though.
I guess we are all selfish to a certain degree but not out of spitefulness.

No, I'm not selfish at all. There are times when I can be but even then it's often for the benefit of other people (like to keep my own sanity so I can be a better mum to my kids).
It's true that we need to take care of ourselves. My partner sometimes has to remind me that I am not selfish for making some of the choices I think are selfish.

This is something that I am working on. I find it hard to say no. Sometimes I need to.

I can be selfish but I am trying hard these days to be the opposite. Giving to those who truly need can be rewarding.

I can be selfish now. When I want something I will save the money I make online to get what I want.
I raised six children for forty years from the first one to the last one that turned 18. I worked a forty hour job. I sold at the flea market. Watched children before and after school. All so my children had what they needed and did not go without.
So now that all kids are over 18 gone and on their own. I can get things for me. I love it. My husband gets stuff for himself to. But what we need and bills being paid always come first.

I don't think I am, but have been told I am, because maybe after a long week of work in the past, I didn't feel like visiting some family , I was told I was being selfish. For me it was just tired, and felt like doing nothing but staying home.

We are all a little selfish, some more-so than others. I have my selfish streak, but mostly I think I'm very unselfish. :)

I'm not selfish. I have a hard time saying no to anyone. I do enjoy my quiet days when nobody needs me.

Like you, I am a selfish too.
I never noticed it until I read your post.
You are right, sometimes we should to be selfish,
Because we shouldn’t give others more trouble if we didn’t take care of ourselves.

I believe in you take you give, but I give most of the time and I don't expect anything back.
