The individualism it can be a real temptation in many moments. Who doesn't like the idea of doing whatever they want at all times? However, in the long run, this form of attitude produces very negative consequences, since, in addition, we must also start from the reality of our own life: at some point, no matter how self-sufficient that we create ourselves, life puts us in situations where we need the help and support of others.
And if we have always lived to the beat of "me, me and me", it is very difficult that when the moment comes, other people are willing to offer their support in an unconditional way.
Individualism makes us lose many things, among them, that feeling of happiness that arises when you do something out of the desire to make another person happy, since their happiness is your own. It is not healthy to constantly put the wishes of another close person before your own personal interests. However, it is positive to do it from time to time since this is love.

For example, facing pending talks and meeting for a coffee with a person to whom you have something important to say. Interestingly, we also become more individualistic when silence gains ground to speech in our daily lives.
