This. That's part of my problem. But once I read something and if my first thought in my head is "Oh that's so selfish" I can't try to look at it from a different perspective or try to have compassion for the individual who is trying to to make someone's issue about them. But then I was thinking that in turn makes me selfish because I blame myself that I can't have empathy for that person. Do you get it?
