"every man for himself" has got to be the most accurate saying Ive come across.. I used to be selfish, and people told me it was a bad trait to have...but when i share, I get taken advantage of..this is not solely directed towards men, but they are 90% of the reason behind this post..Ive been looking/ feeling like a fool for too long..Im going back to being selfish..its time

Girl, this is me to a tee. My ex used to tell me I was selfish (my family too, but I'm the baby of the family, so they are always going to say I'm spoiled and selfish, lol) and had me convinced I was this awful person. He was basically playing mind games to get me to bend over backwards for him while he disrespected me due to his own insecurities.
But I realized I was going through a rough period in my life (still am a little bit) and I need to be selfish right now if I want to make it. I own up to it now, "yep, I'm selfish, so and?". If I don't look out for myself who will?
Its a balance. I'm not mean or rude to people, I'm still kind and loving. But I'm just not going to let anyone use me. And I'm very cautious about who I let into my mental and physical space. Romantically, if I meet someone who DESERVES my attention, sure I'll give it my all, but in the meantime.. no more opening myself up to just any old body to get sh*tted on.
