I shouldn’t believe that saying your piece or really showing your value is selfish or conceded. It can be exhibited in selfish and conceded ways! But it does not have to be practiced with selfish or conceded drivers. And someone’s underlying character or intentions completely shine through when they say their piece or act with confidence. And no one should always put themselves second because they think that their sacrifice is better for others. Because you being first is important. What you have to contribute is important.
