The belief that self improvement happens in a vacuum or begins and ends with oneself. As the opposite of collective care, selfish care symbolizes the hyper fixation of today's western society on individual efforts in regards to self improving and self care. Those individual efforts are often tied to capitalism and the self care industry, as well as colonialism.
iLiana Fokianaki explains in 'The Bureau of Care: Introductory Notes on the Care-less and Care-full':
"While depriving citizens of care, NAS narcissistic authoritarian statism nonetheless capitalizes on the individualist notion of care, widely promoted as “self-care” through an industry with billions in revenues. By ... taking care of oneself, contemporary subjectivities ... are tasked with the care of their overworked bodies, but are less and less interested in the well-being of bodies that are outside of the immediate realm of their family, class, workplace, city, country, and continent. They are further burdened with individual responsibility for their own care, since care has lost its character as a human right and has become a paid service. ".
Selfish care is the accumulation of influences from NAS on individual's belief systems about the notions of care. It represents the indoctrination of the capitalistic evolution of the care system, expressed through the associations with self care that tie it to a profit-driven industry.

"I can't come tonight, I need to do some face-masks and watch Netflix."
" Oh, so you're doing selfish-care tonight henny"
"I'm gonna treat myself. F*ck it, selfish-care"
"You do you, boo"

A woman who has scarred confidence and little courage , but has a lot of faith and perseverance. Who does good but judged. Full of awe and she's silent, but is misunderstood. Too extraordinary to be noticed. You need to go deep to understand her. Her silence is feared. Her smile is rare. Her being boring is fun. You will receive all her love and care.
Her name is Care Rica Mae.

And YOU don't care about her fucking that retard. The pizza was good? You don't care about the people being in emails. The stalking.
Hym "And you don't care about the fucking pressure building in my skull. But what you expect me to care about is saying I would do something that I would, could, should, and CAN do that didn't come to fruition in response to a level of provocation that is like some kind of fahrenheight 451-esque nightmare where information is withheld from me to control my reaction to the things going on around me selectively.

Your self-proclaimed care for life is complete absent in my life and your care for what I did is entirely predicated on that self-proclaimed care. It doesn't exist here. Is there an infection... In my brain? Yes or No? Is she fucking the retard? Yes or No? The shit I care about entirely dictates whether or not I care and you only care in one direction and it's only because they act as a proxy for the people who are fucking you and paying you for your contributions to society and they are to some extent doing what you want people to have to do. If she is doing it, and she is, it isn't defamation and you are not myself. Aow do I have a responsibility to not be something that IF I AM there is no not being? Yours isn't here. I don't see any responsibility here with you name on it. I looks to me like somebody wants to be the responsibility dictator over there and TELL ME what OUR responsibilities are. None of which involve YOU doing anything for ME... NOW. You are DENYING ME care that you are PAYING ME to give to a retard. I'm doing your thing now. You do the paying and the fucking me and I'll do the berating you for both doing and not doing things. You don't care."
