We usually hear the word egoist, or selfish, from others. They may call someone that to make him/her change the behavior. So, they kind of want the person to do what they wanted from him/her. Aren't they supporting their ego in this case ? lol
As you see, egoist is a person who wants to do the things his/her way. Of course, others should be considered as well. But ignoring your own freedom and giving it all to others is not the right thing to do. If something is shared among a few people and someone took a bit more because it's deserved, it shouldn't be called an egoism. Maybe that person knows that he/she will use it the proper way and the return will be higher for everyone.
I mean that there are situations where egoism could be useful. That's called healthy egoism. For example, if parents want to work and the child wants to play. The parents should be egoists and tell their kid that they have to work and that's a priority. So, if the parent didn't do in this situation what the kid wanted, it doesn't mean that the parent is selfish. It's a kind of controlled ego.
In psychology there are many negative aspects that should be considered positive sometimes because the priority maybe more important than ethics !
For example there is a healthy carelessness that could be also a form of egoism !
Hmmm.. This really got me thinking 🤔
I think this is really the best situation to describe healthy egoism.
Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead ❤️💕❤️

Taking a little more than you deserve or knowing what you are worth is simply recognizing what you are worth or what you are capable of doing.
Healthy egoism would be putting myself before others over my own priorities or needs.

I think it is a good perspective to consider a healthy selfishness, because no one is obliged to give what has been obtained with so much sacrifice, there are people who simply want to be given riches without deserving them.

I think it can be healthy to have a degree of selfishness, I mean, I once told someone that I need to be well first if I want to take care of someone else, and he thought it was selfish to want my own well being first. But that's the way it is, we need to look out for and take care of our own needs and feelings, even if others don't, otherwise how can we help others.

Well said. Healthy Egoism always happen and it will continue to happen. You can only love your neighbor as yourself and not more than yourself. This basic was first compared to you. That means you treat yourself first before you treat others just like you treated yourself. Being Egoist sometimes doesn't implies selfishness. It might be a driven towards success

Healthy egoism, never heard of it before, to be honest, but now that I know it actually described many things that happened to me over the years.
I need someone to say that to me every day so that I will remember it, lol.

That's one of the most important thing to remember during all our lives. I watched a video yeasterday where the guy said that the only one who wake up everyday with you and go everywhere with you and think always about you is you ! So, taking care of you is really important.
