I know this sounds selfish but.....

After realizing how heartless and awful people are in general I only have relationships with people that do something for me. If it's toxic, I'm not happy, or this person brings nothing good to my life I want nothing to do with them. For years I was so nice to people and congratulated myself for being kind, putting others first, and getting nothing in return but now that I see people for who they really are just don't see a point of thinking like this anymore.

Not selfish at all... Let toxic people swim in their own swamp

People can be shitty. If you don't truley care about the other person and are just looking to get something out of it for youself, I worry that you maybe adding yourself to that list though.

@throughTheMotions oh you mean me being added on the list of selfish people? Well I guess I am because everyday I see how shitty and selfish people are and I'm done being nice to people who treat me like shit. We live in such a judgemental society where everyone acts like their shit don't stink and I'm done with being "nice"

@Woofwoof15 certainly not trying to be combatative here. But, This may be the same view point that led people you have come into contact with to act in selfish ways. By taking the same approach it doesn't seem that this improves things, but in the end shows that you align with thier decisions.

Not sure i'd call it selfish...its normal.to look out for #1. I never believed in putting others first.
