What is selfishness?What is selfishness towards another person?

What are its many forms?

Answer:
Selfishness could have differenct meanings depending on how it is used. Selfishness towards another person could be used as manipulation. For example, consider a mother who wants her daughter to stay home and keep her company, or to help her clean the house. If the daughter wants to go out with her friends instead, a perfectly normal and healthy thing to do, the mother might call her "selfish".

so selfishness has alot of different meanings. u know i have 2 other sibilings and i am also the oldest. man i mean there is alot of selfishness between them and me. they always want me to share with them, but then they can never share with. i mean hey, people who have alot of ego, or a very strong ego about themselves, are the most selfish people in the world. i am born and raised in america, where my parents taught me how to share with other people and not to be selfish, becaz here there is no space for people, who are selfish. i am saying there is no cure, for selfish people, they just have to understand it them selves and change them selves. not being mean but i hate it when people are so selfish.
dear marian, thinking only for own benefit is selfishness.
