American Cheers, Jeers, and Tears
Society & Culture
Selfishness is a part of our life. It doesn’t have just negative effects. A baby or toddler, for example, needs to be selfish to survive. An adult must be selfish when fighting for his or her life. Treating yourself well during tough times is a kind of selfishness, too, but this is not necessarily a bad thing if it doesn’t hurt others.
Selfish behavior is generally considered bad and immoral. A closer determination,
1. Selfishness is seen as “good” if somebody is treating himself in a positive way.
2. If somebody is acting in a somehow selfish way without hurting anybody, psychologists describe this as “neutral selfishness.”
3. Any kind of arrogant and self-centered behavior hurting other people is considered “bad” selfishness.
Remarkably, virtually all selfish people don’t see themselves as selfish or bad. Therefore, it may be appropriate to examine yourself. Am I selfish?
There are clear signs of egotistical people. They are easy to detect, especially in close relationships.
How do they behave?
