Shoot my shot, or take a hike?

Or even if that's what had happened, then yes! Would've been horrible and selfish, and I wouldn't have wanted anything to do with it, anyway! :))) 

Again, if you don't find selfishness and superficiality "horrible," that's fine! Your perspective doesn't have to match mine! But I, personally, find both of those aspects to be horrible, yes!

Ok then. It seems like we're just getting into irrelevant abstractions then basically, if you're just pointing out qualities nobody really values in general, indeed aren't great qualities.

It doesn't seem like theres any advice anyone can give you if youve got it all figured out.

I don't see it that way! Even if some piece of advice isn't directly useful, it's indirectly useful because it at least helps me eliminate what doesn't work for me! Part of the process of figuring out who I am is figuring out who I'm not! 

Take this situation in particular: the fact that a segment of this discussion revealed that hypothetical we've been throwing around so far has helped me quite a bit, in showing me that taking my time with things is a VERY good way to filter out superficiality and selfishness! :)) So, yeah, the advice may not be applicable from my perspective, because it would lead to things I don't want, but did help me understand things better! 

I don't post to agree with everyone or to have everyone agree with me, I post because I want to get as many different perspectives as possible, after which I look at each perspective, try to spread them out on a spectrum, and see where I land on it! I'm nowhere near having it all figured out, but I have more figured out now than I did back when I first posted!
