Self-Centered vs Selfish

This is the 4th day of class and it becomes more interesting each week. We learned the meanings, differences and the traits of being Self-Centered and Selfish. I was honestly confused because to my knowledge it was basically the samething just different terms. A Self-Centered person cares about them self and their own needs but will not risk hurting another person. A selfish person is one seeking or concentrating on one's own advantage, pleasure, or well-being.
Some of the traits of being Self-Centered:1. Putting themselves first 2. only caring about their needs and wants 3. being unable to see another’s perspective 4. being uncaring of others.
Some of the traits of being Selfish:1. Being quick temptered2. Agrumentative3. Lack of empathy4. Greedy...A person can be both (selfish and self-centered) or only one of them.

We also learned about the 3 dimension of time: The Past, Present and The Future. Our past is where the meaning comes from, and our future is whats coming toward us. You cant change the past or control the present all you can do is wait for the future and not make the same mistakes you made a before.
