Are you selfish

Selfish people die alone

Whether you are in denial or not, most recognize the hints that they are selfish.

Behavior that confirm you are selfish :

1. If you think you deserve to be canonized as a Saint, then you are selfish. The desire to have others know you, revere you, and recognize you is a self-focused desire. You will be truly selfless if someone offers to canonize you and you turn down that offer by saying, “Oh, no, this other person deserves it and would benefit from that a lot more than I would. Please give this other person the honor. I do not deserve it or need it.” This holds true for any title of recognition.

2. Selflessness breeds happiness. Selfishness breeds unhappiness. If you are angry, worried, guilty, frustrated, depressed, envious, or jealous, you are probably focusing on yourself and your own needs and not on the needs of others. As soon as you stop focusing on yourself and start focusing on others, you will find that your negative feelings evaporate.

3. Giving and sharing do not come easily to you. If giving your time rather to other people that to your own interest is effort, you are only focusing on your own needs.  

4. Putting your partner's needs first — before your own — is very difficult.  When you cannot put aside you own hobbies or interest to do something for someone else.  When it is more important to listen to music that to your girlfriend or friend.  When chores are put last of the list of your things to do.

5. You hear constructive criticism as personal attacks.  When you get angry if someone talks to you about things you do wrong, or aren't doing at all.  When you see a conversation as a fight and take the attitude of "nothing i do is right in your eyes".

6. Blaming others to Justify Your Own Bad Behavior.  When you always find a reason or excuse for a certain action, lack of action or behavior.  You are never wrong and take everything personally.  I do this because you did the same or etc.
