One true thing about me is that I am pretty selfish. I like things done my way because it makes the most sense to me. I treat others with the utmost respect and do my best to give to my community, but when it comes to the little things, I can come off the wrong way and ask for the wrong things. When I want something without clearly asking, I will hint at it and try to persuade the other person to what I want. Every time I do that, I always feel guilty and ask myself, “Why did I do that?”. An example of me wanting things my way, a family member could ask if I could help them out with something, I will always agree to go help, but I may try to configure things my way because I tell myself in my head that my way is better, when really it may not be.
I view my personal belongings as items that ONLY belong to me. If you were to ask my whole family if I share, they would tell you that I do not share the stuff that is mine. For example, my PlayStation is something I play on constantly and like to have fun with, but if someone were to use it without my permission when I was gone, I would get upset but I would never express it. It is wrong for me to think like that, which I have recognized and gotten much better about it, but it is just apart of who I am. Another example is when I try to show people something on my phone and if they can’t see it they ask to hold my phone and I will just get closer so I can hold it and keep it in my possession. But when someone tries to show me something on their phone, I will try to grab it so I can have it in my possession because I want to see better and I will get upset if they hold the phone instead of just handing it over. Little do I know, I do the same thing to other people which is unfair.
These habits came from when I was younger and was kept to myself a lot. I have learned better morals and a better understanding of people’s feelings and validation, which plays a big part of my life nowadays.
