Well I really don’t see anything wrong with being self -serving. It’s honest, for one thing, and it’s not hypocritical. You can’t really do anything for the world until you take care of number one.
I’m just saying your post seems to indicate you feel depressed. Maybe you aren’t, but if you are I hope you can find a way out.
It’s true that the most realistic people (not living in fantasy or delusion) are also usually the most depressed. When you look at it, most people are pieces of S#it and that’s just the way it is.
I personally prefer to err on the side of staunch individualism - which oddly enough to me seems a beacon of liberal freedom (not conservative as people who read Ayn Rand would have us believe). We are all on the ride, so I’m gonna grab me as many of the brass rings as I can and take with everything I have - hands, mouth, asshole - everything.
That is a good feeling, and it IS my reality. There’s no objective reality other than that people are jerks. I’m proof that you can wake up looking forward to life every day - I do, and I really think you can too if you want to.
Yeah, fuck that. I’m not gonna be selfish just because it’s easier.
If you are only experiencing life where it’s happy then you aren’t living like a human.
It’s only liberal freedom because you can ignore caring about others. I’m not giving that up just so I can live in delusion to feel happy. I can’t do it. I won’t do it. I know what “self-serving” people are capable of. And I look them with disgust.
You are a conservative just playing pretend that it’s good for anyone else but you.
Go do everything on your own then. And leave the rest of us out of it. And don’t use anything you don’t give back.

Sounds good, have a nice life I’m not interested in arguing about it.
