I think you can, I think you must put yourself in to a frame of mind, simply treat people the way you would want to be treated, so that means sharing and giving consideration, being selfish is a very lonely place to be, giving and sharing is amazing.

You are so right. If we treat others the way we wish to be treated the world would be a much better place. I am trying so very hard to teach my son how to share and be caring and I think it's working! He's a very sweet and sensitive 2 year old. Sounds like you really have it figured out, LilacLady. Good response.

Hello teenieteenez.
That's an interesting question you have there. But yes, i do believe it is possible. This "Only Child" would just have to learn to see other people's needs and not just limit his/her view of things on his/her own situation/needs/wants. All that a person has to do in order to become less selfish is to think about others and care about them. How does one do that? Simply by looking around you and by pondering what other people may be going through in their lives. Then, you'll see that everybody needs someone who cares. When you learn to care about others and to show it to them then you'd become a less selfish person.
Have a good day! =)
