Do you wonder why people ask Why Me or Why Not Me?

Some people are immature and self centered. When something bad happens to them they ask," why me?" and when something good happens to others they would say "why not me?". But i am proud to say, i don't say that when something bad happens to me. I may be the loneliest, but i accept it and would just pray for help from God. Because i know , God is strongest, when we are in some problem. He will make you feel his power, when you call upon Him for help. Though, just be good and persevere in prayers. As to others having good fortune , i don't say why not me, but i would ask God to give me luck also.

You know, friend. You have a good points into you observation. That's really happen not only few but many who have the behavior like that. I don't know why people something like this? But to be sure they are not respecting the words of God. That is why they say those strange words...

Hi scheng.. At times, I'm having some thoughts in mind, like I'm expecting some things to be done by me. But when the task was asked for others to do, I ask myself "why not me?".. Then I will answer myself, "maybe I still lack some points to accomplish it." Sometimes, I also ask God, "Why me?" when almost all that's happening to me has gone worst. But then, I thank God. I know He knows I'm strong enough to handle His tasks for me so He gave them to me. Having difficult to solve problems sometimes challenges me to ask God that question but then in the end I thank Him for that. It's somewhat a compliment for me. But sometimes when things gets hard for me to handle, like I almost wanted to give up, I just think that no one will do the task except me. So, in the end, I always try my best.

Hi,scheng1. I don't know how to say about the people,but I want to give them the good reason. I think this is because all of us want to live better,so when people get through the bad thing,they may feel chagrin,so they want to know why is they,everyone don't want to live worse. That's what I think,I belive that people have the reason to hope live better,this wish is beautiful. Wish you good luck.

It is called projection.It is the instinct for the people to blame other people even they know it's their fault.They have to blame other people so that they felt less guilty on what they had done.People should accept that it is their fault and nothing has to be blame better they should be sorry and by not doing it again.They should be responsible on handling the situation and not to blame God because God has a plan for us and he knows what is best for us.If we could only wait for the right time to come and be patient about it.

We are self centered creatures is the only answer I come up with when I think about your question. Even people who practice Christianity which teaches to put away self, have a hard time getting past self. The same thing happens to the good and the bad. Self help books will tell you the reason that you are receiving bad in your life is because of your own negative thoughts. That the negative vibrations in your mind attract negative thing into your life so by this why me? or why not me is? is a problem with self. You reap what you sow.

Hehe. I guess it's just that people are all 'selfish' to different degrees. Their first concern usually is the self. I guess that is ok, but can be bad if it becomes excessive.
