Seriously, you who say yourself? I know it's important to be important to yourself but I think it would suck to not have someone more important to you. Sounds lonely. And I'm alone a lot but almost never get lonely.
I agree it's sad, but that's the reality for some of us. I don't have parents, siblings, husband/SO, and kids. Who do you suggest is more important than I am...?
I would also go with myself. If you've ever been on a plane, you've heard the safety instructions to put your oxygen mask on first before putting on anyone else's. And it's not about selfishness or loneliness or anything like that. Quite frankly, it's a concept that is still counterintuitive for me. I have spent a large chunk of my life feeling that everyone, anyone, was more important than I. Let me tell you, that sucks a lot worse.
To use the "drowning" analogy, what if it's not that the other person can't swim, but that they won't? I'm sitting here thinking about it and I have spent about 25 years trying to "save" this person or another: relatives (including my own parents), friends, significant others. A friggin' quarter century. And I am done. They had better learn how to swim pretty damn fast, that's all I'm sayin'
Who is the most important person in your life? Is it your husband/Wife/Boyfriend/Girlfriend. Or is it your child/Children....your parents? If your SO was drowning and you child....who would you save? Be honest.
The most important person in my life is definitely my son. In a drowning situation, I would save my son. I'm not married, but I would expect my husband to be able to save himself, or at least hold on long enough until I could get my son to safety.
Me, myself, and I... I don't think I am strong enough to sacrifice my life for anyone, although in a moment of chaos I'll definetely save my baby sister... and then make a darn good effort to save myself
