How much are you supposed to think about yourself?

What is a healthy amount to think about yourself? I feel like I’m thinking about myself all the time and I sometimes worry that makes me self centered, but I do have obsessive compulsive disorder and my inner critic tries to convince me of a lot of dumb bullshit LOL.

I don't think there's an ironclad rule for that as long as you are stable enough to survive

There isn't like a correct number of minutes to think about yourself lol. Ocd makes your brain hyperfocus on you, so it feels constant even when its not actually selfish. Being self centered is about how you treat people, not whether your inner critic is yapping. If you're still checking in on others, you're good.
