I know what you mean.
What does your idea of selfish do?
I feel I am bieng selfish by sleeping 12 hours a day. going to bed at 4am getting out of bed at 4:30pm the next day.
chordy. it means I put myself first instead of “others”. taking time to do things I want to do for myself first and stretching out that time instead of the opposite.

ok. As a withdrawn person, I have been doing that for quite awhile.
chordy. it is nice to reach out to people to help and stuff but with all the stigma and prejudice in my life, what the heck – i’ll help myself instead.
glad to read you are smart enough to have done it for awhile. I wasn’t…

Better late than never.
thanks chordy. we deserve it. judy
Yay! Take care of yourself. Positive decisions are contagious.
i always put others first, like even if i put myself first its usually to help others lol
that’s great if you can do it. I keep wanting to be selfish so here it is, I am going to give it effort even. it’s not as good as yours but I somehow need it. judy

As long as you’re not stealing from Salvation Army money collection buckets, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Taking care of myselt has become my number one goal in life. I was doing volunteer work for a few years and I burned out…i fel bad for a long time about it, but, through my CODA program which is a 12 step program for codepndents, I now realize that I am no good to anyone else unless I take care of my own needs first. And, when I am feeling depressed and anxiuos like this, it is best to do things for me instead of for other people. I come first only after my relaitonship with my Higher Power which I call G-d right now. I think gratitude and accpetance really help me when I am like this and as I come out of this cycle, which I know will happen eventually because “:this too will pass” is always true for me, I will be able to return to my volunteer work and slowly rebuild my life. It just takes time and it begins with me.
Enjoy yourself and do good things for yourself…you deserve it!

Sounds like self-care and self-love and nurturing rather than selfishness to me 
I agree with Rayne. It sounds like a good thing.
everybody here is so sweet. thanks for all the wonderful support.
