Selfish or Selfless?

Lately i have been observing that most people especially some trusted friends of mine are being selfish nowadays. They give you a hand when you least expect them. They drop out from whatever you are doing and they don't show any interest to be with you at all or if you are doing something then they wouldn't want to be with you at all. I admit that i also have been selfish sometimes. What about you? Are you also selfish or maybe you are too selfless that you have time for everyone but yourself? Cheers!

I and my hubby enjoy life on our own terms.Before marriage also I had friends but my intorvert nature never allowed anyone to peep into my life and increase intimacy with my friends.I have one best friend but we are at different places so we meet less and we dont share all our secrets.I believe the world is full of selfishness and people are full of evy.If something good happens in your life people will get jealous and if something bad happens people becomes saddist and enjoy the sorrows occured to you.So its best to enjoy your life fully with your partner without any interference of anyone.We are in India so we entertain lots of family and relatives at our place but we dont allow more friends to peep into our lives and do back biting.so more or less I and my hubby are doing good for everyone but we are not overindulging in more friend circles and bad people.

Well, I do my best to keep the balance between me and my friends. I do not ask too much to them, so when I cannot give too much they will not complain. It depends on how we arrange our time and activity, actually.

Most of us are selfish to begin with. It takes someone very generous and sonmeone very close, to place our interest above theirs. IF we can't do it, how can we expect others to do the same right? This is life. We can go all out to help others, they appreciate it, but that does not mean they have to repay us in the same way too. With this mindset, it makes everybody seem selfish but actually, they are not really so.
