Yes. It just gave an excuse to be more that way. The whole "love yourself" trend is the same. I see it as just more social media nonsense.

"We’ve turned selfishness into a virtue, rebranded it as “self-care,” and convinced ourselves that choosing our comfort over others’ genuine need is not just acceptable, it’s healthy." ~Andre Koome

Yes Ive seen it in my family
Too preoccupied with themseves and less attentive to their lived ones

“Choosing myself” started as healthy boundaries, but many now use it to justify selfishness, avoidance, and zero effort.
Real self-care protects you without discarding responsibility or empathy.

Every time I see that, it's only online; therefore, the answer is yes, online. It's also to the point of self-worship ... but again, mainly an online issue.

It's not that I disagree, I just wonder how much choice we have anymore.

I don't really see this, so much, as I see people who have their heads up their own wazoo. Their needs become the ONLY need, and they ignore the needs of those around them. My annoying friend is like that.

What choice do we have? If nobody else will choose me, I gotta choose me. 🤷🏻‍♀

Yes and I blame cellphones and internet

Some are, sure. But most are doing it through a healthy light I imagine.

Some yes. Same kinda people who fake empathy to be seen as saints online ( repeated performances of kindness on open posts is a give away ) ugh the baby mommas are a perfect example - they should be getting on with their duty of care for their babies instead they use their situation to get attention from men lol snakes 🐍

"Becoming"???? 🙄 This has been the social norm for the past 30 years.

It’s about setting boundaries….

people are born self centered
