I am so selfish I think

I am stressing about having to wait untill the first day of school to get my books, and while I am thinking about it I am thinking what about those who have bigger problems like not having a place to live

You're not selfish. You're just focused on what's important to you right now and that's very normal. And you do think about people who have bigger problems or you wouldn't have written that post. We all have our own problems, some bigger than others in the long run. But that doesn't minimize what you're dealing with. Don't be so hard on yourself!

Being selfish is not a bad thing! I think its also important to understand what other people are going through, but thinking of yourself first is not a bad thing.

I can remember grumbling about something to a friend about a Disney trip I was taking. It didn't dawn on me until I was home that I was complaining to a single mom that suffered from agoraphobia. I felt horrible and apologized. She just laughed at me and said that everyone has different stress.
You are not selfish for focusing on what is important to you. Not caring about anyone else is selfish.
