Why can’t we be selfish?

Vores sociale normer dikterer, at man ikke konstant skal tænke på sig selv. Du må ikke have fokus på dig selv og snakke for meget om dig selv.

How to stop being overly concerned

Most people can probably recognize themselves in overthinking at some level. I have been a real thinker for as long as I can remember and been having concerns about the littlest things, and I’ve always felt that I had too much on my mind for my own good.
