Is it wrong for me to be a little selfish?

No way is that selfish.

To think you are selfish is down right blasphemy in this context. Everybody needs some alone time. It's extremely common. Not just for being around family like in this instance, but just in general. Being alone with one in your thoughts helps you clear your head and relax; something you would be incapable of doing if you were around people like your family or in other social situations when it's multifaceted (many things happening at once; like a party/get-together) or when their is social stigma and pressure put on you that doesn't allow you from just being alone and experiencing solitude.​

Its like you are talking about me


I feel you :'(

That's not even close to being selfish man. The desire of having some alone time is something pretty much all of us should have. Don't think it should be any simpler than that.

Everyone needs time to themselves.

You do your own thing, buddy. That's not selfish at all. I'd rather avoid bad company.

There's nothing wrong with being a bit selfish sometimes.

I like to get away from the house and just be alone sometime, but my mom's always over protective and tries to make me stay at the house all day. Usually whenever I get around family, it's not too long before I start getting critisized. So, is it wrong for me to want some time alone? My family means well, they just suck at sending the right messages. I usually just try to steer clear of them any way best (btw, they all have traits that I hate in people, too many traits too name :devil.

EDIT: I'd hate to sound like I'm complaining or anything

Maybe because she loves you a lot tell her you will go out and come back soon that you need sometime alone .
Even my family members sometimes criticize me even though I'm a grown man ( i think your in your teenage years that time we all have that rebellious attitude and don't think I'm judging you ) but i only listen that when they are reasonable and if not i tell them that's not reasonable . parents and family members are not perfect sometimes you have to forget those traits you hate about them and next time they criticize you tell them you have your own way of doing things but you will try to do what they are saying probably they would understand =D
