Re: On being self-centered
Grunching this thread.
It's long been my belief that everybody acts in their own self interest. Even the super nice and alltruistic do so because it makes them feel good. It's basically a fantastic coincidence that being a nice, decent, givining person feels awesome, so humans tend to get along to some extent.
However, I feel like when people say "he's self centered" what they typically mean are "he's unaware of things that don't specifically involve him" or "he's selfish". One is being uninformed and unaware, which is just bad because it limits you. The other probably just means that the dude in question enjoys life less than you do.
