We are all created with the natural instinct to take care of ourselves.
So yes we are born selfish to survive.
The examples you give are not really selfishness.
"What we got here..... is a failure to communicate."
Some encounters happen as you describe them.
Most of the time people listen and understand.
Selfishness isn't always a bad thing.
When a woman divorces an abusive husband she does it for herself.
Like I said You have to be selfish to survive.

Absolutely not!!!
Selfishness is learned not an instinct that we are born with. The only thing that humans are born knowing to do is to suck. That gives us the ability obviously to eat as babies. Any other trait is taught to us.
I believe what you are discribing is greed. Greed, a desire to aquire more than we need. Greed comes in many forms and is not always about material things but can come from within and makes people want what everyone else has. Be it a new car or a great personality, or getting along with others.
Have A Good Day!

Being selfish is a part of our survival instinct, just look at the baby birds in a nest when their mother comes to feed them, they try to push all the other birdies out of the way to be the first who gets food.
Of course when you're so dull, that you don't want to listen to others, while you force ppl to listen to you, that's another thing, it's called: egocentric.

No, I don't believe that man is created to be selfish because we were created in the image of God. Men became selfish after they disobeyed God's commands. Even when people show how selfish they can be, we still spot good things in them.

in my belief, all humans are born good, not bad or selfish, if a person turns out to be bad it is because he learned this from somewhere or something happened to make him act this way.
but yes, most people in this world are selfish and immature, but that's how the world brought them up, just thank all you know you didn't wind up like this.

MAN AND WOMAN are not created selfish. SELFISHNESS is a learned behavior....and it can be unlearned if the person decides to do so.

No, I disagree. There are some people who are like that and some who aren't. I don't think that everyone is born a certain way.

No. Selfishness is a behavior, and those are learned traits.
