“Am I a selfish boyfriend/girlfriend? Or am I just looking out for myself? How do I know the difference?” The answer to this question is not simple. Maybe you are just vocal about your needs. That does not make you selfish – it just makes you a person with self respect.

“It is either my way or highway.” Sometimes, you may believe that you’re looking out for yourself. But in reality, you’re just a selfish boyfriend/girlfriend. When you’re disagreeing with your partner and you insist things go your way, you might be coming off as dismissive about their opinion. Small things like this can start to plant seeds of resentment in your partner.

This easy quiz, consisting of just seven questions, will help you figure it out. Maybe, your partner is right about their accusations. Maybe, you’re the reason why a balance is lacking in physical and emotional intimacy. Take this accurate ‘selfish relationship quiz’ and find out!

Before taking the ‘Am I selfish in my relationship’ quiz, here are some examples of selfishness in relationships:

Losing your mind when you don’t get immediate replies
Threatening to leave your partner
Trying to win arguments like it’s the Olympics
Guilt tripping your partner to get what you want
Competing with your partner

Finally, if the results of the quiz say that you’re selfish, don’t worry. You can take accountability in relationships by starting small. Once you start experiencing the ‘giver’s high’, there is no going back. Always look out for yourself. But also your partner. If you find yourself struggling at any point, don’t shy away from seeking professional help. Our counselors from Bonobology’s panel are just a click away.

I wrote my first poem in fifth grade and havenâ€™t stopped since then. As it has been famously said, â€œI donâ€™t write poetry, poetry writes me.â€ Writing has not been a luxury for me, it has been a need that keeps me sane. Pouring my emotions out on paper comes as naturally to me as breathing. A degree in Journalism from Christ was just the cherry on top. Writing long essays as a part of UPSC preparation or term papers as a JNU student never felt like a burden to me and it was in fact therapeutic to type 2000 words in one go. Interning as a reporter with Indian Express taught me how asking the right questions can lead to crisp and engaging pieces. Emotionally, I have keenly observed and experienced inconsistencies in relationships, in my own life and around me while growing up. I have hopped from relationship to relationship, be it long distance or unrequited, toxic or abusive, live in or casual. To heal from the pain and heartache of those and the rough marriage of my parents, I would post long pieces on Instagram, which were basically a vent and also the start of my journey towards self-love. Some people started relating to my writing and would tell me, â€œYou should get paid for this!â€ So, here I am. I found my medium to get those overwhelming feelings and lessons learnt, out of my system.
