🚨 OKAY BACK TO TOPIC 🚨
The World Isn't Kind to Extremes
→ If you're always selfish:
↳ You burn bridges, lose trust, and repel the people who could’ve helped you win.
→ If you're always selfless:
↳ You become everyone’s crutch. A walking doormat with no leverage and no energy left to build your own life.
The world doesn’t reward either extremes.
It rewards people who know how to play the middle…
Strategic. Decisive. Drawn lines.

5 Things You Can Do to Find the Balance
1. Give with intention, not obligation.
→ Saying yes to everything doesn’t make you a good person.
→ It makes you easy to use.
2. Don’t explain your boundaries. Enforce them.
→ Selfless people overexplain.
→ Self-assured people say “No” once and move on.
3. Don’t sacrifice yourself for people who wouldn’t do the same.
→ Reciprocity isn’t a bonus; it’s a baseline.
→ You’re not selfish for expecting balance.
4. Choose your 'selfless' moments.
→ Give when it matters.
→ Protect your peace when it doesn’t.
5. Remember: self-respect is not selfish.
→ You can be kind and still be strict about your boundaries.
→ You can be generous without being drained.
_____
Being selfish all the time will isolate you.
Being selfless all the time will destroy you.
Be a little of both. On purpose.
