I want to be a selfish person.

It is not wrong if you want to feel differently from what you are used to feel. Based on what you have said that you are unable to do so, it would be wrong though if you force yourself to be a selfish person, even for one day. Just be yourself.

I would like also to be the selfish person. Somewhat, I was being nice to other person and yet being hurt inside. So, i'm just want to be selfish for at least a couple of hours to think about what i'm going to do in my life and not hurting my feeling for other person.

It's not good to be selfish person, friend. Because you abuse yourself morally and psychologically... Even me...I always think the good of others. But I never think to be a selfish one someday. I want to respect myself and I don't want to be alone as selfish do in their lives...

It is not wrong because you have to look after yourself and the things that concern your life. When you are good and full now you can help others. How can you help other and deny yourself. When you have problems, both of you lose. If you stay well and then you can keep helping others those who need your help. It serves both of the people to look after yourself first and other after. Not the other way around.

Think of what makes you happy and do it...I don't think that is selfishness, it's just loving yourself...if you treat your emotions like it's nothing then other people would most definitely treat it the same!!!

I share the same feelings when I quitted my job. When I still have my job and earning, I had been the bread winner of my family.I almost give everything to them and almost left nothing for myself.After being an unemployed for sometime,I realized that we can't just depend that other people will help us the way we are helping them.I envy those people who are thinking of themselves first.At least I learned from my mistakes and promised to prioritize myself more than anyone.

You made me realized how good a person you are. We rarely see a person like you who really cares for other. I really do believe you have a good heart and you deserve to be appreciated. In everything you do, you put some good deeds and I think you should continue on doing that. I am sure someone up above will really reward you at the end. Maybe others don't see how good you are to them but someone out there in heaven sees your good deeds to others. Just keep on doing what is good. I know in my heart you are doing the right thing. To love others as you love yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can ever give. Happy myLotting!

It sounds like you are in a situation where you are doing most of the giving and not receiving enough in return. There is nothing wrong with taking time out for yourself and being a little selfish every now and again; it is not as if you are selfish all the time, in fact you seem the total opposite! Why not take a little every now and then. You deserve it and you have got to love yourself!

hello indahfth, a selfish person will remain unhappy. but a person who respects herself and has pride will be the winner. it is good to think of others and be forgiving.. but dont give everything you have. leave your pride with you. leave your self respect so that when this people you were so generous of giving puts you down, you still have some pride within you to stand up and start with. ann

We too are a creation of God and letting others walk over us is actually wrong. Helping others is fine but not at the cost of ruining our own selves. My moto in life is 'Love yourself and help save planet earth' as it is only when we care for ourselves that we will see that everything around is peaceful.

Hi indahfth I do know what you mean with this because it is my issue also. I often think about many before me and sometimes I say to myself that I want to be just as everyone else and only think about me always. Although I do some things now with me in mind, I still revert to my old ways because it is in our nature to always think of others. So sometimes you have to force yourself but it is not easy when we think about the others ahead of ourselves.

At first i ask why?... You wanted to do it but you cannot do it, you are just being you, you are such a good person for thinking first the benefits of others and less to yourself, but do not be too unkind with yourself, treat yourself sometimes by doing what you want.

You should always consider yourself first, think of yourself first and never allow others to do tell you what to do...My friend, there is nothing wrong with thinking about yourself first...it is actually the best thing to do. Because you need to be fully aware of yourself first, by knowing yourself down to the deepest core. Only then you will be able to live a true life, a true life that is worth sharing to the world. If you always think of others first, you will eventually loose yourself and that is not a good thing to happen... So i hope you hear my pieces of advice for you and begin your journey to your inner self...Blessing indahfth...

You don't have to lower yourself as a person by being selfish. Just choose company that won't take advantage of you. People that will respect you, and everything you do for them.

You are not alone with this, a lot of people also think about it, I for one had thought of this for many times especially when I feel burn-out by doing a lot of things and some of those are by helping others. For sure we need some time for ourselves in order for us to be recharged so that when we go back to the normal routine of our day to day living we have enough strength to carry it thorough.

So you are a selfless person who is always available to the needs of others.Forget their problems for a day it's your time to say no and be selfish for one day, anyway the next day it's back to your old self again.

Hi indah!. I think OK to be selfish person sometimes if you think thats matter really worth to fight for. I personally see people who always follow others will tend to bored so don't be like thats because i know you are smart woman. By acting like thats you just invite more selfish into your life. Sometimes we are what we are think we are. So create the image of yourself you want and what kind of person who wanna be. Beauty is something we can buy if we want but behavior and brain is our power.

That is going to be hard ...its looks like being unselfish is in your nature.like its part of your will. And one day waking up to be selfish is like going against your will. That gonna be hard. Just be the way you are and believe that good things will happen to those who do good things

No it's not wrong to want that. After being so selfless with other people, it's high time that you should think of yourself also. We always come to the point of realizing that amidst helping others, we forget ourselves. We forget to take a rest , to enjoy things that we like to do for ourselves, so we have to take a pause also and give ourselves a break.

I'm also your type.. I want everyone happy.. and don't make anyone feel bad.. But after some time I realised that if you want to make all the people happy you will end by dissapointing all of them or the majority of them.. So i'll try for a short period of time to be a selfish person and see if that feels all right..
