What is it with people and only thinking about themselves?! I don't know if it is pure narcissism or they are self centred, but all I hear about lately is how bad people have it and how everything revolves around them. I personally feel that yes, we should speak openly about our problems, but it gets to a point where it begins to feel like it is a one way street and all I seem to hear about is how bad these people have it. Hence one reason why I have started this blog. I need to get this s**t out!! LOL Some days it feels like people think it is a competition on how hard they have it and how hard their life is. Um, we all have parts of our lives that are hard for each and every one of us. I feel that not one part of our lives should be considered a competition. We should only be competing against each other say in a sports event etc. Not comparing and competing against each other, especially in our social lives. Which brings me to the point of social media playing a major part in this self centred, self absorbed entitlement that people have. It is like people have to continually prove that their lives on Facebook are so perfect, but everything is so much different behind closed doors and those people are the ones that seem to be so self absorbed with themselves.
But why have we as humans become so self absorbed and self centred? I was taught to treat others I wish to be treated and to always try and do things to help others. I have come to realise over the past few years that when I do help people, when I ask them for help, the answer is always no. And the goodness in my heart is trying to be forgiving, but s**t it hurts when you do so much for a friend and they can never help you back. I guess I am getting to a point in my life where I am tired of always being the one to do the helping and having to do everything on my own or with only my family's help. So maybe I need to stop always being available to help people and see what happens.
I have met some people recently that I have thought "You are one of the most self absorbed people I have ever met!" I guess being a single Mum for so many years, I am used to doing things myself, well because I just had to. But some people are literally thinking all the time "What can I get them to do for me?" I wish I could be that self absorbed and continually get everyone to do everything for me. Oh, how I wish!
I was also raised with the moral that once I had a child, that I no longer was the number one person in my life, my child was. And I still stand by that moral today. No matter what I can do to help my child, I will always try. Why? Because she will always be the number one person in my life. However, I have heard parents even say that they are still the number one person in their life after they have become parents. Um, you do know that you are now responsible for a tiny human being right?!
I am going to attach a couple of memes that I found on Google that I think are pretty fitting when it comes to this blog. I hope that you like them.
What are your thoughts on others and being so self absorbed or self centred? I would love to hear your thoughts!
