people who are selfish

So I guess my first blog is going to be about people who are bother me the most and that's selfish people. I really need to vent about them to get a few thing off of my chest. This post may seem a little selfish itself but I am not sure how it will turn out. This post is not about anyone in particular, it mostly about stories I have heard from others and maybe some stories I have been through myself.

Selfish people are all about themselves. Yes, you should be concerned about yourself, but please do not put yourself before everything else. You should always put yourself in the "shoes of others." Yes, you should be concerned about where you work, money, etc... but please do not forget about the others around you. For example, do not throw a party and only be concerned about what you would enjoy to eat or drink (unless maybe you are going out for you birthday and keep in mind you are GOING OUT). You are having a party to entertain other people not yourself. If you are at a party and you have not talked to your friends in awhile and still do not make any attempt to talk to them, do not come. It does effect other people when you are all about yourself. Others start thinking that they have done something wrong when you don't talk to them and how unfair is that. It is not the other person who has done anything wrong, IT IS YOU!!

To make a conversation good, it takes listening and responding. When a selfish person is in a conversation they are only interested in talking about themselves and mainly just their problems. I don't understand when the only time someone calls you is just tell you their problem and have you fix it, but if you try and talk about yourself then most likely they would relate something about themselves. If you are going to call me just to talk about yourself then don't even bothering calling me. I would love a phone call so that we can catch up on things and we can talk about each other, not just about YOU!!

I hate going shopping and it is suppose to be to get something you both need and it always ends up trying to get something for the other person. If you are a person that just ends up buying and shopping for yourself then don't bring anyone because it will only be fun for YOU!

I know there are a lot of different things you can say about selfish people but some things just need to be said. Maybe I am selfish, hopefully I'm not, but maybe I am because I believe when you are selfish you really don't know it and how can you because you hopefully don't realize you are all about yourself.

Maybe there are selfish people because a lot of media and politics are selfish. How can you go around and tell me that you want to be president of our country and really everything you are doing is for yourself. You can rule a country and have secrets and lies that now build who we are today. Yes, we are changing as a country but is it for better or worse? Who really knows until one day maybe the worst might happen.

When you watch commercials and they are mostly about how you should buy something for yourself and not worry about where it is made or how it got to be so popular, don't you think you should. All of these material things are making people want the biggest TV, best cell phone, and all different things for your house when do you really need them and can you really afford them. Think of people around you and how you actions and words might just effect someone else.

Just a thought
