Regretful soothing words dat you administer to someone else to supposedly make him feel better about a situation, but in reality you merely feel sorry for YOURSELF.
A classic "selfish sympathy" example, from an old "Peanuts" comic:
Schroeder, in exasperation at Lucy's pushy "over-attentiveness": Do you know what Beethoven never had?!
Lucy: What?
Schroeder, rantingly waving his arms above his head: Beethoven never had girls hanging on to his piano and bugging him about giving them presents!
Lucy, mildly shocked: He DIDN'T?! (pauses to ponder this fact) Poor Beethoven!

..like it or not you are going to have to deal with someone this week who, to put it mildly, is not your cup of tea. You cannot avoid doing business with them but you can prep yourself not to react to their stupidity and selfishness for fucks off sake...

When one of your boys refuses to bring his cohort of pussy to the table for you to share. He keeps it for himself because of his inherent selfishness.

Refers to where some lazy jacka** scrapes/brushes the icy white stuff off his car only enough to let him see out the windshield before driving away on a cold morning. Not only does this prevent him from safely "seeing and being seen", but it also means that huge clumps of snow will periodically fall off his vehicle and splatter onto the plowed roadway, messing up the lane where other motorists have to travel.
I always make sure to thoroughly clear away the latest winter-storm's buildup from my car before venturing out on the road, so that nobody can accuse me of selfish snow-sweeping.

A person who self-isolates from the COVID-19 pandemic only until it interferes with their social life.
Randy will only self-isolate from COVID-19 until it interferes with hooking up on Tinder or playing frisbee in the park. Dude is a total selfish-isolator.
