Selfish/less

Someone very close to me recently explained her theory of why people act in the peculiar ways that they do. She stated that there are two types of people in this world;

A: those who look after themselves foremost, and when they are content they then feel free to take care of those around them. they are the people who wait to buy christmas presents

I used to be ruled more by my mind than by my emotion, but I don't know now. I think that have been very generous in the past but maybe too much so I've come to realize. I had some bad experiences with generosity in the past couple years, I think I'm starting to lean toward being a type "a", even though I value relationships more than material things.

I'm type B. Though there are times when I sit and think about it that I must change to be someone "stronger." I think type B people may let themselves get walked on at times because they put the needs/wants of others above them. At least I do, and I've found that some people take advantage of that. It's learning to balance the two that makes a great combination. hmmm...yes.

OR! Putting shit into two different theories is bullshit to begin with. You're not A or B. In the end, the category you fall under will be the one you want to fall under. Like I said... Bullshit!

[zneon]

as i said, her theory. its called a theory for a reason; the fact that it's someone's idea. and you know who you sound like with that "Bullshit!"

[zneon]

and you know better than most that our minds dont work how we want them to. be-yach!

Yeah, I do. But that really has nothing to do with what I said. I'm just saying that whoever made up these two "theories" has a very narrow mind. Of course thats just my opinion. Besides a few cases of tunnel vision I'm guessing alot of people would agree with me.
