    I don't have much time for selfish people so I just usually distance myself from them.

    It starts from...... the start. People should know where you stand, what you will and won't tolerate, and how you will respond .... and how to cut them loose.

    Life is always a battle of wills and personality. I am selfish in bed. I no longer put a guy first. I have paid my dues. If a guy does not make an effort to see me over the line. Then I don't bother again. Work your stuck with them. All you can do is get a tefflone coat snd let it slide in. You will never change them. Same with family and friends. Friends you put up with for a while but pretty soon you wise up and break off that friendship. I used to have a friend here a woman. She would want threesomes all the time. I like them but I need to connect with the guy. When I refused s few guys she wanted, and she used me as bait ti get that guy. She called me selfish. So that was the end of our friendship. We all need to be a little selfish at times. If not people will eat you alive. No , is a good word at times. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'ralf74' I don't have much time for selfish people so I just usually distance myself from them. When I was younger I would tolerate selfish and self absorbed friends and family just to maintain the peace but I'm too old for that now and will no longer bother with such people. Luckily I work with a pretty good, helpful group of people and I am polite and cordial towards them however I take care not to get TOO close. One has to spend a lot of time in the office with colleagues so I prefer not to socialise with colleagues outside work.

    I assume these people are part of your life and getting rid of them is not a solution. May be you can share how such people affect you..and you can then get more useful suggestions.

    If they are that focused on their own needs, they obviously don't need me to care about them as well. So I usually let them be, unless their behaviour affects me directly. In that case I try to talk to them and hopefully work things out. Sometimes people don't know how they come across but are willing to listen.

    Quoting 'simple_desires'If one is not selfishone wouldnt be concerned with selfish ppl...would they? So only selfish people concern themselves with the behaviour of others? What if it's a flatmate, an in-law, a colleague or someone else you don't choose to be around, but can't get away from?If their behaviour affects you in a negative way, why would that mean you are selfish yourself?

    If so then you will come across a lot of selfish people if you are a giver. Perhaps they do not see themselves as selfish, rather more they think they deserve? How do I deal with selfish people? I just don't think about them at all.

    Some people are selfish by their very nature, I quickly determine this and give them the flick. Others just have so much shit happening in their lives they haven't looked over their shoulders to notice. These people deserve some consideration for at least a short time. - Posted from rhpmobile

    I get rid of arrogant negative or selfish people in our life. We have zero tolerance to any of this behaviour.... Karma is a great thing and selfish people will get a taste of karma - what goes around - comes around. Be nice to these people though - as they need as much love as they can get

    Just accept them for who they are. If it still bothers you, move on.Don't associate with them

    take away the "ISH" and what do you have. Who decides if someone is selfish or not?? is there a special formula to calculate selfishness? Is it Ok to call another selfish without sounding selfish? Is calling someone selfish healthy because that person can not give what one wants? In my eyes and how I see it... I believe it's OK to be selfish - it can be healthy and unhealthy. I believe it's Ok to think of ones self while at the same time show empathy and compassion towards others, without being greedy.

    To stay sane is to practice saying NO...you can wrap it up in pleasantries but NO can be a powerful word and can appear to be a selfish word but sometimes we need to look after ourselves.I have decided that I don't want to be guilted into doing what I don't want to do..if this upsets people,so be it xxFreya

    Selfish means, lacking consideration for other people; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure. synonyms: egocentric, egotistical, egomaniacal, self-centred, self-regarding, self-absorbed, self-obsessed, self-seeking, self-serving, wrapped up in oneself, inward-looking.... I don't believe it's ok and really I loathe these traits in a person and have made the decision not to have or bring them in my life..... Walk away maybe even run, because it soon becomes toxic and this isn't good in any relationship.......💋
