It's sometimes OK to be selfish.

So I was having a conversation with someone (this someone's name will be left unknown for his/her protection) about how this person doesn't like being mean to people because they don't like to hurt people's feelings. This made me analyze other particular cases where I've heard the same thing.
However, this made me realize that in the end, you haven't really not hurt someone. You've in fact just prolonged the pain that might be caused to another person and you might have hurt yourself. Basically if your always doing things for other people you are never really helping yourself, and if your doing something for someone else in order not to hurt them, you still are but your also hurting yourself.
That's why I think it's okay to be selfish sometimes. It might sound cruel or mean or whatever but its true. If your selfish or honest to yourself and another person, you might still end up hurting them but your saving yourself a lot of trouble and hurt and you would have just hurt the other person anyways by lying to them.

So everyone needs to learn to be a little mean and a little selfish! Hope this blog made sense hahaha!

  1. I think I only understood this cuz I know how you are haha. I have to say, I quite like how blunt and honest you are, even if people think it might be mean sometimes. So, you do have a good point, however I don't think one always has to be like thatin every situation. I prefer to be nice, but Shea and other people have told me that I am quite often accidentaly mean haha
