Being selfish

I understand what does it mean, in real life. You may or may not accept it but all of us has the tendency to think of our own's interests, according to circumstances and esp. if own's welfare is threaten.

What about in the internet world; having some so called friends, constant mails, chat, etc (no special gf/bf connotation, just being there for each other), then one day called, "You are selfish!" I inquired but didn't get a clear answer.

So what's being selfish ... here?

Being selfish is not a crime. Being your own best friend is not a sin.
When we first leave our mothers bodies,we scream and cry and DEMAND attention. This is our basic instinct which never truly leaves us.
Anyone who claims that they are not selfish,is a total hyphocrite and cannot be trusted.
Shay, on the net: Be kind but don t trust anyone. hug bouquet
Hi Shay!hug
Have not seen you very, very long.How are you dear? I have no idea what meant this guy, calling you sellfish. Maybe just looking for an excuse or considered not talk enough about his deeds!

Hi Jana. Thank you for the reminder. Good to see you. bouquet teddybear
Great to see you too Shay and your shining smile hug teddybear
Hello Spd, missed seeing you in here. I had just been out for months, things got real difficult with me here ... but everything is slowly going okay. Hope you are doing fine Snez.


I had one friend called me selfish here before. I thought the reason he said that was because he felt real upset, depressed and nobody to turn to. Then got me that strong word. In fairness to him he apologized and said he was just sad. I was not there to comfort him. Just that I have also issues/problems of myself, and not being always online.

Shay, i was reading ur blog very carefully, and when I've seen that it was 'he' i suddenly realized that i do know that man! laugh tell us plz how old is he, about 40-50 right?wink
There is no such thing as being selfish on the internet unless someone asks you for something and you refuse them when you could afford to be generous. But even that is sketchy. Because it's your right to refuse if you want to.

Other than that...How are you? I am so happy to see you! I think about you and Lachi and Jasmine alot and i consider you girls my special friends!

see you later on the blogs!
Hi Shay. It's been too long. That seems the fave line of men to get one onto her knees.
How I wish I have retained something bigger of that person, Parti. Maybe he was just truly demanding that time. wink beer hug
Hi Shay, you sweet dear. By your own words, he was upset that you were not there for him when he was sad. Who was the one being selfish? Expecting you to be there for him? You were not selfish at all. It happens in life......at least he did apologize to you as he should have. We can not expect people to always be right there when we need them the most. Do not worry yourself over this. Take Care!
V, selfishness I guess have categories. grin laugh hug

Parti and V, a funny and adorable tandem really. Thank you guys for gracing my blogs. teddybear beer
Roxana, you may know him. conversing wink grin bouquet
Good to see you Ed. I am doing good. I missed being here in the blogs also and seeing you nice and kind people in here. Ate Jasmine and me still in other site but didn't get time to catch her up lately. Lachi is happy and I am happy for her also. Hope things are good with you also Ed. hug

That time when he needed my time (to listen to his concerns) I was also struggling with some things. I have also problems on my own that I need to attend to immediately. Didn't get much time to be online but I have told him as well as all my friends here in CS, even in the blogs. I am also thinking maybe he was as well be drunk that time. Because when he is drunk he tend to be tactless, very. But we are fine now. And he will always be a friend to me.
Ate Tam (my short version of your name Tatami. hug ) Hi. Nothing to beg, as he has nothing to give.
good to see you here again shay .....wave

sinong nang-away sayo shay at papaluin ko sa pwet... hehehe

just dropping by. When all is said and done, forgive and forget. hug
Roxana, we may be referring to the same "him", may be not ... :)

I have been in here CS for a year now (11 months here in the blogs). I have met some people, kind ones (so I thought) but the kindness faded. But don't get me wrong, there are real kind and nice people in here. Being there without asking something in return, without demanding anything even if they are entitled to (my term, :)) I have also "nearly" fall for men I thought to be of genuine interest only to find out they are just making excuses and don't even know what they really want in here; to find the one or to just play around. I have learned that in order to be less painful for me from being attached to somebody, it is better to be of friends ... and do not expect something. I am as generous as I could be. And as my abilities could permit me, I will be there for someone who needs me ... But they must also understand that I may appear okay in here, I am also tackling difficulties. If they need me, they can say so and I will be there.

My apologies for rambling. grin

This internet world is so confusing at times.
Oh Hi Bsooner. Its been long time I didn't get to see you. How are you?

I am not bothered and worried. It has been in the past (3 months ago, :)) and both of us have made ammend. As I have always told him, I am just here. If he ask my help (if that's what I can call it) in any matter I will be there, as long as I can.
Good to see you also V. Did you get my good morning? If not these hugs instead. hug hug teddybear Have a good day. Thanks for the vid.
Beautiful June, musta po? Big girl na, kaya na gumanti ng palo sa nanakit sa akin, hehe .... Good to see you. Good luck for your endeavours and Take care. hug
