Can you help me?
bit of an odd question prehaps,
How many of you are selfless, infact quite possibly can't 'directly' ask for anything yourself, unless under distress, and doing so, or even thinking about being 'selfish' or being forced to do something 'selfish' makes you flip out. like it's impossible to be selfish.
Looking at my whole language usage patterns, I use language in a way that I make statements and ask questions, but only respond to the desires of others.
Can ask for things directly, because I am self-less, I do not draw significant distinction between myself and others, and as a consequence when others are 'selfish' or appear to be, it can screw me up.
etc....
For instance, I was told that for disability discrimination to have happened I had to ask for a reasonable adjustment to be made for myself.
That thought was abarent to me, as I started to feel the emotions of everyone, that the perception of it being valid to be 'selfish' in relation to discrimination, to put yourself before others, would have.
The person receiving the form, accepting selfishness, so feeling it was OK to be selfish.
the people they were selfish to.
The thought that I may be selfish, in my desires.
etc.......
To me, that is not a reasonable thing. To ask me to do such a thing, or accept someone else doing it, would be discriminatory to my selfless nature and cause great distress.
I do not have the ability to be selfish, that is the disability I have.
