I think that a person is selfless when they care for others as much as they care for themselves, i.e. someone might give food to another person if they are starving, however is that someone is starving themself, they would still make sure that they are fed too. I hope this makes sense. If not, the Australian philosopher Peter Singer has some interesting concepts regarding how a person can be either selfish or unselfish. He even refers to possible problems with this concept.
The adverb for "selfish" is "selfishly."
The noun form for selfish is "selfishness."
Self-obsessed is when somebody cares more about themself than other people. Selfish is being greedy, or hording something, money for instance. These two are very different. Actually, I would think they are generally the same. To me when a person is selfish they are also self obsessed and vice verse. There is such a wide range of things that one can be selfish or obsessed about and the question was the difference between self-obsessed so the answer is nothing. A selfish person is "selfish" and a "self" obsessed person is "selfish". To me they are the same thing. Its anything that has to do with that person that's usually what rules their world. These type people are also greedy, very needy, attention seekers and usually extremely narcissistic.
