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.

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"

what everyone in the world is. absolutely no one living on this planet can call themselves "not selfish". its human nature. telling someone to not be selfish is like telling someone to stop being human.
but many people mistake selfishness for greed.
you may be the most generous person on the planet, but if you even WANT the feel-good feeling of giving, you're selfish.

Person 1: hey stop being selfish and give me some of your money!
Person 2: you're telling me to not be human. by the way, i believe that i deserve to keep this money because i worked for it and you stood home on your ass watching reruns of Friends. i dont need to give you anything.
Person 1: ....... fuck you.
