I really don't understand why people are always complaining that I'm self-centered. I mean, I just know what I want and go for it.

But don't you think that sometimes you should consider how your actions affect others? It's not always just about what you want.
human
I know, I know. But honestly, I just find it so hard to put others before myself. It's like I have this natural instinct to prioritize my own needs above everyone else's.

I can understand how that might feel natural to you. But have you ever tried putting yourself in someone else's shoes? Thinking about how you would feel if someone else prioritized their own needs above yours?
human
Hmm, I guess I haven't really thought about it that way. But what difference would it make if I did?

Well, maybe if you started thinking about other people's perspectives more often, you could start to build stronger relationships with them. You might find that people appreciate you more when you show that you care about them.

I guess that could be worth a try. But it's hard to break old habits, you know?

I understand. But just like pulling weeds in the garden, sometimes it takes a little bit of effort to get rid of something that's not serving us well. And in the end, it's usually worth it.
