Are you a selfish person?
Are you a cold person?
What about others? How you see other people?
I like to ask and to answer personal questions. Why don’t people like personal questions?

God am I ever selfish, it’s hard for me to find people more ego centric than I am. I’m an only child and for most of my life my entire universe has consisted of three people. Keeping those three people happy meant me being happy, so that’s what I tried to do. Now I have it up to five people regularly, sometimes as many as eight, which is still tiny. Even so, my world revolves around me. I poke around in the other seven lives but we’re all rather self involved.
Cold though? Sometimes definitely. The irony is that I’m at my coldest when happy, because I really don’t want to join people in misery. I eventually do… which is why I don’t think I could be called cold. Empathy is a big thing for me, and sometimes I feel what others do as if it’s happening to me, except without context or background info. It can make me difficult to deal with because I’m usually just as frustrated as whomever I’m talking to.
I consider myself selfish to a degree I guess..
If I’m cold, yeah I really can be because I am so sick and tired of people. Or sometimes I just come across as cold I think. Being nice is a chore
I’m not cold, by the way. Just.. humble. Cadet.
I don’t really value human life so I try to avoid people in real life as much as possible. I don’t know maybe I have autism or something but I’m going to kill myself anyhow haha I want to shoot myself through the mouth to the brain stem. I’ve been trying to get the means to do this for going on 13 years
Selfish? yes
Cold? Lately.
Other people? I’m not sure. most are obstacles. I care about some though.
Why wasn’t my comment posted first? Doesn’t anyone realize who I think I am? What’s a fella gotta do to get some respect.
Yeah. It’s all about me. ;P
Everyone tells me that I am selfish but I dont think I am. That means i probably am selfish
I’m a lot of bad things, but I’m not selfish. I’ve given away all my money to those who deserved it more, done a lot of things to help others for nothing in return. I figured most suicidal people would be like this. If you truly believe your life isn’t worth a damn, isn’t it pretty hypocritical to put yourself first?
I am a very cold person though. I don’t want friends, even if I want to help people.
I see others as mostly selfish but I don’t fault them for it. Different people in different stages of development. I’ve also met a few people who put me to shame with their depth of compassion. I’ve also met people who deserve to be eradicated from the face of the planet. It’s all an individual basis, I don’t see how anyone can make a blanket statement about “people”.
I remember that oh so soul crushing label applied to me by my mother.
Selfish is one of those labels you may never overcome, if some one is labeling you such. I t all depends on what they want and what you can give. They may have an unrealistic want too.
Selfish as a label applied to oneself by oneself seems limiting. We are better served by choosing a goal or an ideal and striving towards it.
I am selfish, but I sometimes have a sense of the greater good.
I wouldn’t say I was cold, though I probably seem like that to many who encounter me.
I see others as…unpredictable, which is scary to me. Trapped in their own worldviews, just as I am within mine, but sometimes grasping for something universal.
