SELFISH

I am the Spirit of Selfish.

I only think of myself and what is going on in my life.
Me, me, me is all I want to talk about. It can be about the good, bad, or ugly stuff but, as long as it is about me.
Why is that?
It is because I did not get the attention of one or both of my parents when I was younger.
So, I am making up for it now.
It is a need I have to be seen and heard.
For many years, I gave to everyone everything they needed and more.
And now I need some of it back from the people I gave it too.
But that is not right.
Doing so would make me an “Indian Giver”, and I am not going to do that to them.
I gave without expectations.
Why should I get something back now?
It is not fair to them at all.
I gave without asking for something back.
So, it is time to let the losses go and stop expecting family members to pay up for the time my parents did not give me.
Let us call it even and paid in full.
