"Selfish" is such a strong and negative word so I wouldn't go there. I'd focus more on your quality of life, instead. It sounds to me like the root is more to do with an insecurity, and to discover this at such a young age, well done! There's definite hope.
What made you suddenly aware? Why does it bother you -- or does it? What are you hoping to achieve from this knowledge?

It does bother me. I admit I'm not the healthiest or most selfless person but I do have guilt. I think being older amde me realize this and when I did it made me feel guilty. I have grown more empathetic and I am able to realize more how my actions hurt others. I don't want my actions to hurt others so I guess what I'm hoping to achieve is to do things in a way that I don't hurt others or put my needs always above theirs.
