Selfishness is being concerned excessively or exclusively, for oneself or one's own advantage, pleasure, or welfare, regardless of others.[1][2]
Selfishness is the opposite of altruism or selflessness via Wikipedia
You are SELFISH
Have you said this to anyone? Have you ever felt like someone is being selfish to you?
I am sure we all have felt it. Ok, let's look it at the other way.
When you call some 'selfish', it is because he/she didn't do/agree that you were expecting, he/she did something that he/she liked but you didn't.
So, who is the selfish one?
See? You feel like someone is being selfish because he/she didn't care about your own selfish desires. If he/she does what you want, you are happy. There is no better person than him/her. But, when he/she doesn't - "You are so selfish."
One way or the other, everyone is selfish. Next time you feel like someone is being selfish to you, think about it. They aren't BOUND to care about you all the time. They are just being themselves at times. When you ask them to 'not be selfish' and care about you, you are being selfish actually, instead.
And when you feel like you are being selfish, you are actually, just not fulfilling other's 'selfishness' and that is why you feel so.
You were just being YOU. Isn't it?
Everyone is selfish. Aren't you?
