Selfish People. Y?

Sometimes we found that we cannot get along well with some friends or colleagues. Normally we will start thinking about whether it is our problem or maybe we have not been treating them well.

When time goes by, we discovered that a lot of people around us are having the same problem with them. I have met a few of this kind of friends and they shares the same traits - low self-esteem. You cannot image how serious low self-esteem can affect a human's behavior and thinking.

Here is something that one of friend shared with me on people who is with poor self-esteem :

"We instinctively shy away or react against people who are selfish. The problem is that when people are not comfortable with themselves, they tend to focus more on themselves: their needs, their true identity, their search for meaning and satisfaction. A selfish society, an ego-centred world is rather symptomatic of a society that is not at home with itself. Selfish people are usually people with poor self-esteem. It is a vicious cycle."
