The egoist satisfies his interests at any cost, often at the expense or to the detriment of others. In addition, this can be called a person who loves himself, defends his boundaries and takes care of himself, but without harm to others.
What is selfishness
The manifestations of egoism are based on inflated self-esteem, self-righteousness, boasting, inability to hear the interlocutor, attempts to manipulate other people, an excessive desire to demonstrate one's own well-being, the desire to be in the center of attention and the habit of evaluating people by the level of wealth.
A selfish partner is fixated on his own person and is not ready to waste time on other people. He is too self-confident and shows superiority, not interested in the position and opinion of another member of the union
Research shows that people's own generous or selfish actions influence their perception of other people's behavior more than the behavior and attitudes of those around them.
What is healthy selfishness
This is the ability to live in harmony with oneself and with others, taking into account the interests of those who are nearby, but with an emphasis on one's own interests. Healthy selfishness is based on several postulates: I can't get what I want if I don't help people. My interests are inextricably linked with the interests of other people, society as a whole.
