The Two Types of Selfish (And Why One Is Necessary)

from Unquiet You with Amy Gleaves · host Amy Gleaves

Did you know there are two types of selfish? In this episode of Unquiet You, we unpack the two very different types of selfish, and why confusing them can leave you exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from yourself. There’s a version of selfishness that takes from others, avoids responsibility, and damages relationships. And then there’s a quieter, more necessary version, the kind that protects your energy, sets boundaries, and allows you to show up fully in your life.This conversation dives into people-pleasing, over-giving, emotional maturity, and the guilt so many women carry when they start choosing themselves. We explore why saying no can feel uncomfortable, how self-worth plays into the decisions you make, and what it actually looks like to prioritize yourself without becoming cold or self-centered.If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “too much,” struggled to set boundaries, or felt guilty for wanting more out of your life, this episode will help you reframe selfishness in a way that leads to stronger relationships, better clarity, and a more aligned version of you.==========Welcome to Unquiet You.
