Our Dorm Building Only Has One Facilities Person To Clean, She Works So Hard Yet The People On My Floor Are Still Disgusting. I Can't Blame Her For Leaving This Note

Our Dorm Building Only Has One Facilities Person To Clean, She Works So Hard Yet The People On My Floor Are Still Disgusting. I Can't Blame Her For Leaving This Note

yoyo5261 Report

According to the website PsychMechanics, there are some basics about the psychology of selfishness that we all should know:

A selfish person is the one who puts his own needs first. He's primarily concerned with himself and seeks out only those activities that fulfill his own desires and wants. Anything wrong with that? I don’t think so.

Going by that definition, we're all selfish in one way or the other. All of us want to do things that are ultimately for our own good and well-being. This type of selfishness is good and desirable.

So far so good. The problem arises when we do things for ourselves and at the same time ignore the needs of those around us or when we fulfill our needs at the expense of others. When you make life difficult for others to meet your own ends, then that kind of selfishness is the selfishness that you’d like to avoid.

They shouldn't be allowed to leave without paying the damage. It is obvious they broke many things. It's the same as eating food from aisles in supermarket, you can't damage it, make it useless then leave.

There are several reasons that could make someone selfish...

A person who holds on to his resources and doesn't give it to the needy can be considered a selfish person and this is the type of selfishness that we commonly refer to when we say that someone is selfish.

ADVERTISEMENT

When we say that someone is selfish, we usually mean that he doesn't share his resources (money, time, etc.). Now, why won’t a person share his resources, even if it's the best thing to do in a given situation?

The biggest reason is that he thinks he doesn't have enough. A selfish person, therefore, is also likely to be stingy. This insecurity of not having enough motivates a person to hold on to his resources and not share them.

Another reason is a fear of losing control. If someone has many needs and goals, then he overvalues his resources because he thinks that these resources are going to help him reach his goals. If he loses his resources, he loses his goals and if he loses his goals he feels he has lost control over his life.

For example, a student who doesn't share his study notes with others is the one who has high academic goals and sharing notes could mean losing an important resource that could help him reach his goal. And not being able to reach your goals is a perfect recipe for a feeling of loss of control over your life.

ADVERTISEMENT

In other cases, the way a person was raised can also make him act in selfish ways. The only child or the child whose every demand was met by his parents (spoilt child) learns to take as much as he can and give very little back.

Such children learn to care only for their needs with little empathy or consideration for others. As children, we were all like that to some extent but gradually we began to learn that other people have emotions too and so developed empathy.

Some people never learn empathy and therefore remain selfish, just like when they were kids.

Was Told To Post This Here. Woman Stomped All Over The Plants In This Conservatory For Instagram Shots Despite Staff Repeatedly Asking Her To Stop

Rainy_Day_May Report

The most important thing to do when dealing with a selfish reason is to figure out the reason for his selfishness and then work on eliminating that reason.

All other methods and efforts of dealing with him are going to be in vain. Ask yourselves questions like...Why is he being selfish? What is he feeling so insecure about? Are you making unrealistic demands of him? Is he really in a position to meet your demands?

We are often too quick to label someone ‘selfish’ instead of admitting that we failed to persuade them or that our demands are unreasonable.

ADVERTISEMENT

But what if they are really being selfish and you're not just falsely labeling them?

Well then, help them get rid of their insecurity. Show them that they're not going to lose anything by giving you what you want. Or better yet, show them how they may benefit by helping you if there's a possibility of a win-win situation.

as a waitress, I've truly enjoyed telling these parents to pick up their (literally) s****y child & go to the bathrooms. Then blatantly got super-strong disinfectant and cleaned the table while their companions were still there.... and had to deal with the odours of the chemicals. "But madam, I must do this, due to the Health Hazard caused by you / your friend. And no, we can't move you to another table, as they're reserved. May I get you some dessert?" :D :D :D

When I was heavily pregnant, I had tot ride a really busy bus. Just one seat was free so I went to sit there. The whole bus was full of students. One stop later a old lady with a walking cane came in. No one stood up for her. So I did. That made me so angry. A whole bus full of healthy young people and the only one who is getting up and have to stand is a 7 month pregnant women.

One of my friends started to complain about getting fined for blocking an intersection on two separate occasions. I stopped him and asked why he was unable to realize that he wouldn't clear the intersection. He knew he wouldn't. So I said he deserved the ticket. He then told me how in New York City it's impossible to drive downtown in rush hour without doing it, so that's where he picked the habit up. He then realized that it wasn't a good reason for doing it in other places with less jerks doing the same thing.

As a pedestrian I have to deal with this as well. Pisses me off to no end. I will walk around a car and wag my finger at them. I swear it's time for there to to be auto barriers put up at lights that go up automatically when the light changes so drivers like this will be forced to obey what a RED LIGHT actually means. If I were a street cop I'd be out in the middle of the road taking pictures of license plates and sending everyone of those a*s holes 500 dollar tickets with no way to contest them in court!

It should be considered inpeding the flow of traffic. Did you know that in many locales in the United States you can actually get a ticket for not speeding? If you are on the express way and all of the people around you are speeding and you are doing the legal limit and causing people to have to weave around you then impeding the flow of traffic award will be handed to you free of charge! You just have to pay for it later. Weird huh?

Sime people get stucked because the traffic, not cause being a jerk. How do you know there is not another jerk in the next intersection blocking traffic? Or that the intersection is big so you can't calculate the time you have to cross it? With dense traffic is just impossible. Drivers stop blaming other drivers, you can be the one stucked there.

It's called reading the road - you do not enter an intersection unless you can see that you can leave it. You are supposed to wait and not block lanes. Dense traffic is never helped by people doing this, it makes it worse. THAT is why it is against the law in so many countries.

Four-way intersection, with only this one image to tell your story? From what I can see, the slippery road might be more of a problem than the people in the other cars being jerks. There might even have been an accident further on down the road, and you're blocked by the end of the queue that's formed as a result of the road being blocked at the other end. I can't imagine for one second that you were prevented from continuing your journey twice just because all these drivers decided to be jerks at the same time. There's more to this than we can see, and without that, I don't think we can call these other drivers jerks.

Nah, I see this in the Bay Area all the time. People still turning on yellow because it's a longer light (bigger intersection) so they're too impatient to wait for the next round of green. This is especially the case during rush hour. It's infuriating and an a*****e move. I have Zero problem blasting my horn and giving them the finger/dirty look when it's my green and they're blocking my way. They're no more special then you or I. These type of people need to stop being entitled inconsiderate asshats
