At what point does self-love/respect become selfishness?
>>17103122
They're entirely different things.
To love and respect yourself is not selfishness. It is only selfishness when you don't respect others. Love optional.
When it starts hurting people.
>>17103122
when it compromises other peoples happiness unreasonably.

it's important to put yourself before others, you're all there is in your own life, there should be no one you wish to please more than yourself.
when you put yourself before others that leaves them in a bad position they didn't deserve is when it's selfish
>>17103122
When you're putting yourself before others simply because you are you and they are not.
When it harms others in any way.

self-interest is good and righteous and there is no way to live life without putting yourself before others.
you provide way more value to everybody else when you stop being a weepy deferent socialist pussy

>not having a utilitarian mindset and putting yourself before others when it serves an actual purpose and not just because "fuck those guys"

Nice greentext, shithead.
When is there not an actual purpose to putting yourself before others? Every moment that you are not actively helping other people is putting yourself before others.
