When and where to show selfishness

A person who is focused entirely on himself and does not notice the needs of others is usually considered an egoist. But is egoism so bad?

Many often accuse us of selfishness only because we do not obey their manipulation.

1. Often our parents demand more from us than we can give. They keep telling us that they have invested so much in us, and we have not justified their desire. Parents often believe that children should meet their ideal. Therefore, they are sure that they know exactly what will suit us for good and what does not. To prove to our parents about our independence it is necessary to exert maximum efforts. Make the right decisions and be responsible for their actions.

2. There are days when our friends or acquaintances come to visit at any convenient time, believing that you will always be happy with the visits. Such people are not interested in what you are doing now, whether you have plans and how you are going to spend time, the fact of communicating with someone is important to them. Try not to indulge them, because you yourself can not notice how you will spend all your time on them. Just correctly and firmly tell them that it is better to agree in advance about the meeting, as you can be busy and you have things that need to be addressed.

3. Often your young man tells you that he does not have your attention. And at the same time, you spend all your free time with him, study with him in one group or work with him in one place. Just talk to him about it. Find out what the lack of attention is expressed in his opinion.

4. When you decide to quit, you have to listen to a long speech about your betrayal from your superiors and colleagues. Often the authorities resort to manipulation so that you remain in the team, especially if you are a good worker. Therefore, they often use this maneuver to make you feel guilty and doubt the correctness of the decision. But you do not have to give this job all your life.

5. Friends invite you to the cinema or somewhere else, but you do not want to go anywhere. You can tell them that you are not in the best mood and prefer to stay at home. And you can go somewhere next time. If you think that they may be offended, then do not worry. After all, you, too, may have plans for the evening.

6. You sometimes think that your phone should be switched on 24 hours a day, as you can skip important calls. But do not worry. After all, each person has his own personal space, in which he is comfortable. Just turn off the phone for a while and relax, relax. If you are always in suspense, then no one can help.
