How to be Selfish?
Selfishness is an adjective defined as “Only interested in yourself/ doing things only for yourself.” Selfishness is becoming very popular among American teenagers especially in relationship to their parents, family and their teachers. A true selfish person really cares only about themselves and the interest of others is rather unimportant to the selfish person. To master selfishness you must accept the following conditions.
Rule one; put yourself in front of all others. The most selfish among us realizes that the needs of others can really get in our way and that we must always ignore the desires of others to fulfill our own desires. This can sometime be difficult when living among other people. For example in your home you may have to occasionally be asked to change the channel when you are watching television. The selfish person must block out and ignore the request at all cost. At the beginning of mastering selfishness it may be difficult to ignore the other person. One suggestion is to think of your favorite song and sing it in your head. Sometime singing it aloud or whistling will annoy the other person so much that they will leave and you will have succeeded in getting your way. In this case, you can be alone watching television.
Rule two; you must believe that you are always right in your selfish actions and endeavors. The selfish person deserves more than anyone else, for the selfish person is and must be self centered. For example if you are at you little sister birthday party and there is only one piece of cake left the selfish person must realize that they deserve that last piece of cake. This may be difficult especially if your sister starts to cry. Please stay tough at this time or you may not succeed and master selfish behavior. This selfishness can be applied to anything that the selfish person would like to apply it to.
The final rule is to make sure that you are always the center of attention. This can be achieved through actions and through conversations. In school the selfish person can constantly raise their hand or call out to get the teachers attention. If you do not know the answer you can resort to disrupting the class through humor or by physical disruption. This is usually very effectively and gets the selfish person noticed. In a social environment it is very important to keep everyone interested in your story which can mean you need to lie to enhance your stories. Don’t worry about lying; a selfish person does care about hurting other people with lies as they selfish people only care about themselves. Please refer back to rule one.
If you are willing to accept the rules of selfishness you too can achieve the title “selfish person”. Being selfish is a lot harder than it sounds. You need to be willing to sacrifice your relationship with your family your teacher and possible your friends. But if you are willing you can live the ultimate selfish life alone following the rules one two and three of the selfish guide.
