First things first, when I say it's okay to be selfish I do not mean forget about others and their feelings completely. Now that is out of the way, What do I mean by being selfish?
Let me rephrase that from selfish to self-full. Personally I have discovered that when I want to make a decision or take a risk the thoughts, "what will people think?" or "Does this seem like me?" run through my mind. I think it is time that we all forget about other people specially when is has to do with one's well-being.
Don't forget it is your life and at the end of the day you will be the one that has to live with the decisions you make or lack of. To be able to utterly and completely indulged in yourself is a gift. Again, I am not saying to be self obsessed although I am saying take time out to treat yourself. Some "me time" is great to keep your sanity.
self-full things to do:
Eat a whole pizza by yourself, Binge-watch a show from beginning to end, Listen to music in complete darkness, Take a whole weekend to yourself, Nap, Write, Thoughts, Dream, Experience, Cook, Paint your nails, Watch pointless animal videos, Laugh, Look at old pictures, Reminisce, Give yourself a facial, Unplug from social media, Bake
most importantly own yourself and enjoy being selfish-full
