Selfishness
Selfishness is letting go of expectations of society and is all about reclaiming your power, independence and identity. Selfishness can also be viewed in a negative way like we have discussed in class. People may be seen as being overly confident and arrogant.
The picture below describes my view of selfishness perfectly. Sometimes we feel as if society creates who we are instead of allowing ourselves to be who we want. We need to stand up for who we want to be individually and claim our identities instead of following social norms to fit in.
