Such a great issue to address Gene. I was called selfish about 18 months ago after making some changes internally and externally in my life. I had enough insight at the time to know that it was about the other person wanting me to return to old ways that served them. I did not return to those old ways and eventually ended contact with that person. Now I have people in my circle of friends who congratulate me for making ‘selfish’ choices as they do the same and for the right reasons.

Big thumbs up for airing this issue. A big part of learning self-care is un-learning self-guilt for self-care. Thanks for this!
