It's just what I chose. I need three, and all i thought of was malicious, hubris, and selfish. I could use like desperate, but idk. Al Legator Posted at 7:00 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Selfish is pretty obvious- doing something in your own self interest...that doesn't mean you think of yourself with hubris (hu⋅bris excessive pride or self-confidence; arrogance) For instance, someone with completely low opinion of himself could still be and act selfishly. On the other hand, someone with hubris could take the attitude "Oh, I am so great, so wonderful, I give millions of dollars to charity every year and help out at the soup kitchen every Tuesday. It's really just because I'm so wonderful!" okumsup Posted at 6:59 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 well do u have to use them or u want to use them? ello paulie xx Posted at 6:57 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from blufindr at 9:54 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 No. No, that it doesn't work ? mbs55 Posted at 6:56 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from okumsup at 6:55 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from mbs55 at 9:54 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 Quote: from okumsup at 6:50 pm on Jan. 4, 2009 the definitions u gave us are even different, selfishness is doing something for yourself and hubris (im just guessing by what i just read) is when you're into yourself    Selfishness could also mean being into yourself. whaat? but hubris is more like, being into yourself way too much.. and selfish isn't being into yourself as much as just wanting things for yourself.. i don't know there's a definite difference there i just cant really explain it No I know what you mean. They are distantly related, in my opinion.
