    [Be More Selfish...Not exactly what you think of when you think of how to build your self confidence.
    Are you ready to discover a surprising trick to becoming infinitely more confident in yourself? Do you want to feel bolder, stronger, and more fearless?
    Today, I’m going to share an extremely powerful trick that will help you master confidence in all areas of your life. This trick may end up feeling counterintuitive, but that’s only because it probably goes against everything you’ve been taught.
    So, what is this possibly controversial trick I’m dying to share with you today?
    If you want to begin to develop ultimate confidence, you need to start being more selfish.
    This, of course, must sound crazy to you-selfishness is supposed to be this ugly quality! Even as children, we’re taught that we’re supposed to share everything.
    How can becoming selfish possibly help me develop confidence?
    Well, to begin with, there is a spectrum of selfishness-let’s say on one end you have Henry VIII, and on the other you have Mother Teresa. While we all wish we could be as perfect as Mother Teresa, it’s not practical to expect that of mere mortals in modern society. What I have found, however, is that most people tend to lie closer to that end of the spectrum than the other.
    This might sound ideal-and it definitely says great things about how Western society has progressed since the 1500’s-
    but if this mindset of complete selflessness becomes habit to the point of self-denial and self-neglect, we do ourselves and our dreams a disservice.]

      Religions tell us to be humble but never tell us the limits that's why we should draw a line of whether the one deserves our niceness or not... because at the end god also do the same..And if God wants you to do something good to someone he'll put love in your heart for the one he wants to help through you but draw a line... you're the way only if you truly love someone that's natural but if you are saying I'm gonna do good to someone who's evil and bad that's where you're being stupid and that's what it's all about...that's where we should start listening to our brain and find out what we really want for others and what they deserves...But Never help bad people or you think are the bad people because even god Dont help them...Be rational there are way more good people or creatures that needs you're prayers and help done with them that would be enough

      The thing is when I’m narcissistic I’m more able to help others like those in need. When I think selflessly my depression and ADHD kicks in and I start thinking I should kill myself over things like not being “sociable enough” (fake enough in this system of selfish people who expect you to engage with them). Maybe it’s a personal thing.

Being less nice and more assertive and stand offish does create a slight change in ppl to want to respect you more.. but like I said ... Ppl who have respect .

    I kept telling a girl that I didn't want to be more than friends because I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
    She called me a narcissist.
    I took a quiz on the Internet (I know this isn't a real diagnosis) and it actually said I was not even a healthy narcissist.
    She took it and she was more of a narcissist than myself.
    The 'healthy narcissism' is probably the 'selfish' you are talking about.
    I let people walk all over me.
    They can basically shoot my legs off and within an hour, I'd forgive them and tell them it's alright.
    So being more selfish, telling and asking others for what I need, saying no, rejecting people, etc. is something I REALLY need to do because I've struggled with it for so long and I'm constantly being used when someone needs me because they know I'd be there.

      Hey Jc, although you are not intimidated in the sense that you are afraid they are better than you academically, I think you are intimidated by your own standards... You set a standard on yourself that you must be perfect whether academically, or a perfect friend, perfect helper etc... If you don't fulfil that standard than you feel inferior....
      E.g. you feel bad when you have a grammatical mistake... so you immediately posted "oops i meant *your"... You didn't want people to think that your English is not good...
      Hey I am totally working on this as well... I just won't allow myself to have any grammatical / spelling mistakes or anything of the sort... If I don't know how to say something then I'd rather not say anything, in case others laugh at my language ability. That's so silly right? I also help people because I don't want to feel bad not helping them. Thankfully people haven't abused my kindness like you do but then sometimes people do do things to me which I don't like and I don't know how to confront them...
      I might be wrong about you, but see what you think?

      Don't trust too much on anyone, even your shadow leaves you when the light vanishes."
      When my wife started getting frequent night calls, I'd ask and she'd wave off those calls as unimportant. When I couldn't take it anymore, I contacted Hacker Nevetica via cyberanswers@gmail who helped clone her phone. All I did was share her phone number and through a remote link on my phone, I was able to access all of her messages. (both incoming and deleted) I also discovered her 8 months affair with one guy she met on a dating app. Thanks to him, I can now file for divorce.

      Exactly what I think. I feel this to an extreme level. So also because I am inclined a bit towards religion too which for sure teaches you to be selfless. But this way of conduct/feeling hasn't given me anything. I feel good when I agree with others. It gives me this extreme feeling of goodness and hapiness on the contrary I feel more guilt when I go opposite. I dont know how to tackle this. I just want to keep a balance in this where it leads me to benefit out a bit also.

      @@rustyblonchjr8660 This is a matter of perspective. Some things that work for you may not work on me and I respect that. I think this video is more appropriate to people who can't speak for themselves, who can't call out someone, who encounters aggressive people and never know how to handle them. Hence, the end result is that we always lose. We end up feeling tired because of always choosing everyone over ourselves. It's good to help other people but we can help them without compensating ourselves too much. If you find this video inappropriate, maybe it's not for you because you don't really know what it feels like to experience these things. Dr. Aziz used the word "selfish", people may have misundersood or may have seen this video in a negative way but it isn't. He just wants to say that sometimes, we should think of ourselves first cause often times we tend to forget about ourselves because of our love and care for other people.

I'm happy there's a video that talks about that on youtube. I feel like this happen a lot in relashionship/dating. I hate what's unnatural so that might be a reason why I don't have any boyfriend hahaaaaaaaa...

    Yes you are right , we should take the power of decision to ourselves that does not mean that we are being selfish . That means that we are standing for our ownself . And that's not bad.
    Because people start you to make a punching bag if you always be a nice guy.
    Now I understood why I was being depressed for long time even after helping other people and not hurting other people feeling . Because I was not taking my own decisions , I took those decisions out of fear .
    But now onwards I will choose my own decisions and fight with my guilt .
    Currently I am college student final year ( 21 ) . I wish I could know this earlier in my life no body told me like this . Really very thanks to you for this eye opening videos.

    Totally relatable. I always showed up for my friends and was there for them. But they kind of started taking me for granted. But once I got married, I realised my friends were really jealous. I was the single, available friend with a job for them. But although I had everything I was not 'settled' as per Indian standards. They were married and continuously ranted about how marriage is bad. But I bet they secretly was relieved I haven't found a life partner. When I broke the news of my engagement, first thing my bestie told me was "Oh one of my friends had asked if you were single" REALLY? Is that the reaction. And where was this friend when i had been single for a very long time? She never mentioned anything of that friend instead she was talking about marital difficulties. But now I am married, and with a good job. That kind of upset them. I stopped initiating conversation with them. Now they want to meet up for a get together. Anyway I can never be their same friend. I know I can never count on them.
