What are greed and selfishness? Each of us has our own judgments about the manifestation of these qualities. Depending on their worldview, upbringing, religiosity and intellectual level of development, some people accept selfishness as the norm of behavior. The latter consider even frugality a manifestation of greed. Explanatory dictionaries give this definition of greed and selfishness.
Important: Greed is an ardent desire to satisfy needs and desires. Selfishness is the preference of one's own interests to the detriment of others.
Is it possible to use these terms to operate and decide who is greedy and who is selfish in a relationship? Let's look at simple examples.
Where does selfishness come from?
Excessive manifestation of selfishness does not allow you to build a relationship with a partner. The manifestation of this quality is that a person puts himself above his beloved and thinks only about his feelings. Selfishness manifests itself constantly. This is not a one-time phenomenon that you can put up with. Selfish people cannot adequately relate to their own personality. All a person’s thoughts are connected with selfish goals that will satisfy his wishes. Such people become greedy and dependent on material values. They do not listen to relatives and can even betray them.
Mistakes in the interaction between men and women
Male mistakes
When a woman suddenly begins to change her behavior, take care of herself, engage in self-development: read books, attend courses, lectures, take care of body health, men often perceive this with hostility. How is it possible, I spent 15 years taking care of him and the house, and then suddenly I remembered about myself. And they reproach the woman for selfishness.
Here it is important to remember the differences between male and female egoism and turn attention to yourself. And what have you, as a man, done for others, what requests have you fulfilled, what wishes have you taken into account and get down to business?
Women's mistakes
When a woman indulges male egoism. Instead of asking for help and including them in household chores, she takes pity on them and encourages laziness and idleness. Or he acts from the principle “I do it myself” and responds to any offer of help with “No need, I do it myself.”
