Are you selfish?

[Charliefretz329]

How do you refute this claim?

Yes

No

[strateguy632]

But selfish means inconsiderate and for profit, in picture, very few people are like that. Like biden-d despite democrats policy "we take care of our own" , but lied to families of hostages, just to get them "off his back" he abandoned the American citizens taken hostage by #palestinians , That is rare to be so inconsiderate.

Meanwhile TRUMP not only worked for American citizens hostages, but a deal for many hostages! For all those who read lies "trump is selfish" far from selfish. SSimilarly, most rich guys have non-profit foundation to GIVE, NOT SELFISH in contrast to rich zukrberg his charity is "for profit" but those low lifes are rare.

Dam i forgot the screenshot from oxford. So i quote "lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure"

As much as I would like to say I'm not, I truly believe that; as humans, we are inherently selfish. Yes some are significantly more so and others significantly less. However, I think its just wired into our Biology to have wants and needs which stems from our innate desire to survive. I think its more a matter of how superfluous your wants and needs are; so I'd say I'm moderately selfish I guess? 🤣🤣🤣

[strateguy632]

inherently selfish? I doubt you would pass the u. s. citizenship English test. Learn what words mean!
People are not "inherently inconsiderate" nor "main concern for self profit."
Oh and i support tests to screen immigrants for English! you gotta know English... still NOT the crazy "eilts" that new zealand obligated , that is academic test! But i still support English test, to screen immigrants as u. s. does and u. s. version is opposite extreme , too easy! We need decent standards but not academic but my point is
is "Learn the language if you plan to come!"

Oh I’m definitely selfish. I focus on things from my perspective first, I put my wants and desires first, I think my thoughts hold a lot of value. Doesn’t mean I don’t have the means to consider everyone else’s perspective, but naturally since I live in only my head, I can only think from my perspective

[Genie23]

I wish I was. I've been told by some people in my life to start thinking about myself, to put myself first... I struggle to give priority to myself/my wishes/ needs. It makes me feel guilty if I try to put my needs first. So, I don't think I'm selfish but I should be a little selfish.

I kept my mum alive for 15 years. Same could be said for extending the lives of many pets. I selfishly defended my stances which allowed them to live.

[Charliefretz329]

That’s an interesting paradox

[Ninania]

I'm selfish in the sense that I put my own needs and wellbeing first. I think everyone should learn to be selfish that way tbh.

[Charliefretz329]

You can’t help others if you can’t help yourself

[strateguy632]

Imagine a "moral" guy in the airplane emergency, helping others with their breathing mask first! Needs should be first, the problem with SELFISH is putting personal profit before other stuff!

[FreyaRed]

Yes, I'm a taker and give only if it benefits me in some way.

[jshm2]

Only on some aspects. But when it comes to friends and family - never.

[Abbycado]

Nope. How do I refute something I don't claim to be?

[Charliefretz329]

How do you refute the claim that you’re not selfish?

I did it last year and will again this year.

[Charliefretz329]

Does it make you feel good to give?

[Abbycado]

Certainly does, especially for that cause. It is an exhausting event, but I loved every minute of it.

[Paul09]

Technically everyone is selfish. But I do try my best to be selfless. Made huge changes in my life to do so..

[Sal_Monella]

Absolutely. Everything (everything) you do is selfish. Loving G0d? Yes. I want eternal life.

[Still-alive]

I'm trying my best to be mr rogers but sometimes i end up just being a homer simpson lol

[Still-alive]
