I appreciate your diving-in this topic! I felt (and am still working on this at times) selfish about doing something for me! I definitely grew up with a major martyr example (my mom) and that led to years of trying to emulate her “selfless” ways. At 54 I am just starting to figure out who I am, and I can finally say, “I like me!”

PS - love the view from your back porch!! 😉😘
Yes, that view! :-) And there is a huge difference between being giving and being selfless. I is hard to like ourselves when we have no sense of self!
