What is the middle of selfish and selfless?

Right in the middle of this spectrum of selfishness to selflessness is the pro-self approach. The pro-self person looks at the universe of choices around her and says, “What’s in my own interest, and what is in the interest of others?” And then she balances those choices.

Is selflessness possible?

People can still do kind, selfless things for other people without expecting a benefit or anything in return. Selflessness still exists. If an act is theoretically truly altruistic, the receiver benefits while the person doing the action doesn’t even consider their own situation.

Can an action be both selfish and selfless at the same time?

You can be both selfish and selfless — we all are. No one is an entirely selfish person, just like no one is an entirely selfless person; we’re all somewhere in between. We may be selfish in some areas, yet almost completely selfless in others.

What does it mean to be selfless in life?

It means to express that love and to not be judgmental of others. Selflessness is giving – your time, money, donated items you no longer use or need. Selflessness is focusing on others and expressing concern. True selflessness means acting from a motivation to do the right thing.

Is selfishness good or bad?

Neither selfishness nor selflessness is good or bad. In fact, the two concepts are mutually beneficial. Just like anything else… extremes are not helpful. We have to have a healthy mix of selfish and selfless to be truly happy.

What are the signs of a selfish person?

Selfish people are always repeating that mantra, “I want, I want, I want…” thinking that everything in the world should be theirs and that they should deserve every little thing that they dream about. Selfish people cringe when someone else goes in the spotlight because they always want it for themselves.

How can selflessness help us to connect with other people?

Acting selflessly can help us to connect with other people because helping others makes us feel good, and in turn, the other person experiences feelings of gratitude, and as a result, we bond with each other a little bit each time we help each other out.
