Healthy, happy relationships are based on caring, cooperation, and commitment. Your partner and relationship must be a top priority for you. Selfishness, or being overly concerned with just your needs, wants, and feelings prevents you from holding up your end of a mutually satisfying relationship.

Many people don’t recognize when they’re being selfish because they operate inside a bubble of me-first thoughts and beliefs. Putting yourself first becomes a habit. For example, with friends and colleagues, you look for opportunities to put yourself center stage. You spend very little time listening because your focus is on pulling attention back to you. Eventually this way of being pushes others away from you. In your intimate relationship, it creates hurt and resentment.

Here are six ways to tell that you’re selfish

    Self care is this great survival technique that helps ensure you wake up tomorrow. I only care about me at your expense is the embodiment of selfishness.

    Every human being has selfishness in them, some more than others. Those who go around trying to prove they are not, are probably the most selfish. It’s not words, it’s your action. Now, the question is do you constantly think about yourself, are you self centered or self absorbed 24/7, when someone tells you are being selfish, do you try to see it from their point of view. My grandmother is the closest to being selfless, R.I.P that woman is a gem and no one not even my mom or myself come close. It’s a conscious effort to think about others, nobody naturally has it in them.

    most people will say they aren’t but their actions and words say different. Music,movies,catch phrases nearly everything that people are influenced by pushed a selfish agenda of only caring about yourself and what you want.
