I've just made two posts here which i think are "selfish".

I'm not sure what the difference is between being "selfish" and being honest sometimes.

Someone could tell me they are being honest and be extremely cruel, I hope I don't do this,

Sweetie, try to keep in mind that selfish is a LABEL that other people put on you when you don't do what they want, or do something they don't want you to do, or say something they don't want to hear. It's a manipulation thru guilt tactic.. it's not who you are.

These?

Re: Depression SupportRe: Ashamed. Miserable. Stuck.
I don't see what's "selfish" about those. Maybe I'm missing something, and I'm sorry if I don't understand. Maybe you're just too hard on yourself as you are now?

Hmmm... In order to fulfill their purpose, these forums require people to direct attention to themselves. Are you feeling the very act of calling attention to yourself is "selfish"?
