What “selfish” usually means is that a person or child isn’t doing what someone else would like.

-Kathleen Madden

Are you ever called “selfish” becuse someone wants you to go to a movie, play a game, or go out with friends when you are tired or have plans of your own? What is that person hoping will happen by calling you that? And why might you react in just that way? In what situations might it be fair for a friend or family member to call you selfish?
