Were you spoiled/indulged as a child, greedy and selfish, but learned how to be caring?
Were you the only child of parents and other family who so adored you they granted your every wish? Did you grow up feeling better than others? Were you (are you) greedy, selfish, egotistic and used (or still do use) others as pawns in your life to satifsy whatever need you have at the time? But now, you have recovered from all of this. You began to realize that you are related to others, that you are like them. Most importantly, did you learn to realize to it is wise to be helpful and kind to others? If so, what made you change? How did you learn to stop being such a selfish mean and self centered person? Any particular event or circumstance? Or was it many things?
In answer to some of you, no this was NOT my upbringing...quite the contrary, I was abused/neglected at times and overprotected at other times but never indulged. We have, though , in our family my sister in law who is this way. My brother married her, I strongly suspect, because her awful selfish personality is very much like our abusive mother's was...but our mother was even more abused and neglected than we were!

These same symptoms of being spoiled/indulged as a child can be in a child who was terrorized andor desperate as a child. Totally absorbed in self for his survival. Now I have adult intelligence, potential & experience and have found the hard way that total self-centeredness is self-defeating. It is taking a lifetime.

A loaded question for sure. I came from a hard working family of 6 so no we were not overindulged. We took no family vacations and we stretched our meals and the budget. It definitely formed some character in me as a result. But if this was your upraising you were fortunate, but spoiled, overindulged and selfish. Not attractive attributes and if you have changed wonderful!!!The world will be a better place.

My family was poor growing up, so I wasn't spoiled. I was taught the value of hard work and the value of good people. I ran in with a lot of spoiled brats who looked down on me, though.

Unfortunately my mother could have cared less about us. I came from a large family. We were poor so there wasn't anything to be selfish about.
Accepting Jesus Christ into my heart changed my life forever.

You spoke back your guy or woman question. the two events are completely conscious of the hazards. i think of what you're extremely asking, is would desire to a guy be held answerable for a toddler if he needs the lady to have an abortion and he or she refuses. the respond is sure, sorry that became the threat you took once you had intercourse.
