How to use "Selfish" in context?
Selfishness is defined as an inclination or habit of looking out for one's own interest rather than that of others. Selfishness can be harmful to oneself and others, as it can lead to a disregard for others' interests and feelings, as well as an egoistic focus on one's own needs.
Selfishness can be observable in a variety of behaviors and attitudes. For example, some people are often self- Promoting, insisting on their own point of view even when it is not warranted or beneficial to the situation, and putting themselves first even when it is not in the best interests of others.
