We all know that egoists aren't good: we are taught to prioritize others and think less about our own comfort.

On the other hand, psychologists claim that being just a bit egoistic can improve your life a lot.

But how so?

Self-Care and Well-Being

Prioritizing your physical, emotional, and mental health allows you to recharge, maintain balance, and effectively navigate life's challenges. 

It is important to set boundaries, practice self-care activities, and fulfill your own needs to avoid burnout and maintain a healthy sense of self.

Asserting Boundaries

Being a bit egoistic can help you establish and maintain healthy boundaries in relationships. 

By asserting your boundaries, you promote self-respect, prevent exploitation, and maintain healthier relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.

Personal Growth and Fulfillment

By focusing on your own ambitions and interests, you can develop your skills, pursue meaningful experiences, and achieve a sense of accomplishment. 

Investing time and effort into your personal growth allows you to become a more fulfilled and well-rounded individual.

Decision-Making and Autonomy

Being egoistic to a certain degree can empower you to make decisions that align with your values, desires, and long-term goals.
