Selfishing 

Self-ish-ing: Occurs in the social networking world. An act of calling attention to one's self by posting a vague comment that entices people to ask you to elaborate.

It's a selfish post intended to fish for attention.
These are examples of selfishing posts:

1) "Man you wouldn't believe what just happened to me!"
2) "Oh my God. I can't believe this. Please send prayers..."
3) "Gee, I can't believe that someone would hurt someone like that"

Selfishism 

The belief that, although you think socialism is evil and wrong, it's okay with it when it benefits you personally.

You'll take advantage of any socialist programs and claim disability benefits, unemployment benefits, or old age government pensions for yourself, all while complaining about everyone else who does the same.
Alice: That person kept posting about how socialism is going to corrupt America, yet now they're posting that Social Security benefits for seniors should be increased.

Bob: That's selfishism for you.

selfishism 

"This is an ideology that justifies self-centered individualism, social and economic aggression and the evasion of social responsibility and cooperation through rationales based on mythical concepts such as all-powerful and overbearing government, the inherent inferiority of other racial and ethnic groups, the equation of infantile self-indulgence and economic self-aggrandizement with political freedom, and the innate superiority and desirability of pseudo-individualism and concentration of wealth among a few members of society." ---Glenn Rainey
What is commonly labelled "western individualism" is really just thinly-veiled selfishism.

Selflush 

When one’s endless desire to use drugs, to make themself feel good, ultimately sends their life down the drain.
Look at where he is now. Just proves how selflush he was.

Don’t be selflush cause you can’t come back once you find yourself down the drain.
