Do you think selfishness is a common trait amongst people with SA, depression, and so forth? In the sense that we are so inwardly focused that we feel as though the universe has dealt us a bad set of cards, and so part of us feels like we don't owe anyone anything and become empty of compassion and selflessness?
I've been in a relationship for 2 and a half years now, and we often get into fights because of my selfishness. Then, one of two things happen: either I become bitter and confront those accusations, or I tell her I'm gonna do better and continue not to focus on her problems when she's talking about them (it becomes a 'me' conversation). I've noticed that I do this way more than I should.
Thoughts? And thoughts on how to change this?
