stop being selfish

i want to stop being selfish. i want to be a better person who thinks of others happiness before my own.

im sooo selfish in everything . i feel like the people i care about n love should care about my feelings and need all the time … i know sounds stupid . but im extremely selfish wid my boyfriend. its like i dont want to share him and i dont want him to do things for other people except for me .. like for example i hate his family so if he has to do something for them or his friends i get so upset .. i hate when he wants to go out with his friends instead of spending time wid me i feel that every free moment he gets he should spend it wid me lol i know its bad but i really wanna stop being like dis because its hurting my relationship and it causes unnessary stress on both of us .

where is the line drawn for where being selfish actually starts?
maybe if the line was easily identifiable i could be more mindful…

I was only really selfish when it came to my relationship with my boyfriend. I never really put his needs over mine, and after working on it constantly for almost a year, I can finally say that I don’t see myself as selfish anymore. I don’t remember what my reasoning was for the being the way I was, but I love this new me. It’s such a great feeling to to make him so happy, and not just when I was trying to make something up to him after an argument. Now it’s like second nature to me, doing things to make him smile.

Well ive been with my boyfriend for a year now and my whole life ive never thought of my self as selfish. Until now, and I had to hear it from the one person i love most. My boyfriend. Im a selfish bitch, and i always have to be right. Instead of taking responsibility right away, i make up excuzses. If im happy it doesnt matter if anyone else is. I put people down for the mistakes so they pitty me. Horrible yes i know. And i dont believe people change. But i do believe we become someone greater. But still the person we were before is still inside us. So what do i do.. How do i become a better person??

This is very important, I need to learn to put myself in other peoples shoes, not just to think what I would do in their situation. Also to understand other people’s feelings when they are not being communicated directly, I mean, learn to look!!
My husband can guess my mood just by looking at my face or listening to my tone of voice, I can’t even begin to make a guess about how he feels unless he actually tells me.
I don’t want to be like this!!

i think i can retire this goal. i made a conscious effort to put others before myself and not be so self-absorbed, and after a while it just became second nature. sure, i have my moments, but i’m not who i used to be. and that’s a good thing.

this must be my number one struggle.
if i stop being selfish, i think atleast half of the problems in my life would be solved.

it drives me crazy knowing how selfish and stingy i can be sometimes. i want to be more open, loving, careing, and giving to everyone

Instead of doing things only for me, I did something for someone else. It was hard, but worth it.
