I have always had one problem with myself, and I always beat myself up for it. I have a problem talking about myself. I think if I meantion something about me I'm being selfish.
Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but with me always feeling like this I end up totally avoiding conversations I really want to be in.
Most people say I think about others way too much, is that even possible? They tell me I have to take me time, but I always get the feeling that it wouldn't be right. If I take me time I'll start hating myself cause I think I am being selfish by not helping others.
Is there anything I can do to stop myself from thinking I'm overly selfish??

Try telling yourself that you've been thinking about others enough and it's time to reward yourself for being so nice.

Awww. Come on, sweetie. There is absolutely nothing wrong with taking a little time for you. Just remember that you should always be one of your priorities, and it's not selfish to indulge yourself a little.
It's a bad habit, one that you've talked yourself into, but it can always be reversed.

SO been there!

I've gotten over it the past few years by realizing my freinds want to know who I am to, and if they don't, they aren't really my friends since they don't like ME, but all the things they cn USE me for.

Think of it this way, your not being selfish unless the entire conversation is nothing BUT you, but if you bring up something about yourself, then ask a question of the other person or comparisons from themselves, your actually RELATING to that person, and thus developing a better bond, or at least figuruing out if you should or not.

It's a balance that everyone needs. Sometimes you will still feel selfish (as do I) but understand perhaps by THINKING you are selfish by talking about youself, it seems to others you ARE being selfish by KEEPING everything about yourself to yourself. Share and share alike. You are cheating THEM out of meeting YOU. Thus, open your heart and your mouth, and join in those conversations hun! You'd be amazed what wonderful things you'll discover and chagne about yourself and others by doing just that!

You should always be number one in your life other than family friends and religion...it is fine to help people some of the time but you need time for yourself to reward yourself..think about it this way for every couple people you think about think about yourself if anything start from there

take a day and a notepad. write down when you talk about you. write down when you listen quietly or engage in the conversation, even if you don't want to. I think you will see your not always talking about you. Many times I have found that we talk about ourselves because we feel like we are not a part of what is going on around us, and we only know our own insides.

I do the same thing, I'll always do something for other people, even if it means indangering my own well being, which I really don't mind I love helping other people and I love seeing them happy, but this leads to a lot of problems, I've aways been like that, and it lead to other issues, like not people able to eat infront of people, not being able to say no, and if I even think about doing something for myself, like skateboarding for fun, I feel horrible. Which all these problems led to more, like now i'm underweight because I refuse to eat with anyone in the house, and 5 people live here. You need to be careful though, and doing things for yourself isn't greedy, and you also need to do things that are best for yourself. Looking out for yourself doesn't make you greedy, and if your not looking after yourself then who is, just becareful and don't do anything that could possibly indanger yourself for someone else if they don't need it.

You really do need to take some time to yourself and there is nothing wrong with it. As far as talking about yourself, that's how people get to know you, just don't over do it. If you don't talk about yourself at all, people will just assume you're a very boring person and won't want to get to know you, just try to start by answering questions that people ask you and ask questions about themselves, you'll see it isn't selfish to want people to know who you are.

You could try thinking of spending more time on yourself as an investment to helping others more. If you don't do anything for yourself, you will be exhausted and stressed out all the time. That helps no one.

I completely agree with the conversation advice that Sonarius gave.

I think if you are avoiding conversations because you are worried about talking too much about yourself, it shows that you have identified your problem. That is great, and shows that you are in fact NOT a selfish person, because you care about others. Now the only way to fix it is to put into practise talking to people about THEM.

Involve yourself in conversations, and get used to talking to other people about themselves. If someone asks you about yourself, give them a quick answer, and then maybe say, "And what about you? What do you prefer?" or whatever goes well with your conversation... always try and show the person through your words and actions that you CARE about what they are saying and that you really are listening to them. If they mention they like cars, branch out on it by asking something like "What is it that fascinates you about cars? What's your favorite car?" etc. etc. You know what I mean I'm sure. :)

Good luck and I hope this helped some.
