Just to add a different perspective .... I've got tons of baggage and issues, but doing too much for other people and putting their needs ahead of mine is NOT one of them. I do like to do things for other people but not to the point that I don't take care of myself. So I guess that makes me really and truly selfish??? It seems to me that people who do for others are NOT being selfish at all.
I am the selfish one because I
don't do.
I think it may have something to do with the importance aspect:

I have huge problems with feeling unimportant and insignificant. So maybe these are feelings that people are trying to avoid by making themselves "important" by doing for others all the time?? IDK - this is an interesting thread. It's making me think. Always a dangerous thing ....
