If you love yourself, that's good. If you don't love anyone else, that's a problem. When selfishness becomes a problem, you have to fight it. To do this, use the advice of psychologists.

Instructions
Step 1
Accept selfishness in yourself. Selfishness is a feeling akin to the instinct of self-preservation, the desire to survive in difficult conditions, the conscious path towards a better life. There is nothing unnatural and bad in it, unless selfishness begins to overshadow all our other emotions: compassion, mercy, attention to others, shame, etc. You can’t lock yourself into sterile self-love: you need to make it work for yourself. First, accept that there is egoism in everyone. It is important to understand how to direct it in the right direction in order to get the most productive result for you and for those around you: this selfishness makes us be the best of the best, choose a prestigious place of study and agree to a good position in order to ensure a bright future for ourselves.
Step 2
Try to think of and help the other person. There are thousands of people in the world who are less happy than you. If you have achieved a lot, help your neighbor. There is no need to transfer the entire salary to the account of one of the many aid funds: take part in a charity event directly. You can help feed the homeless people or raise money to buy diapers, which you can take to the nearest baby house. The social services in your city will tell you if there are low-income families who need any help. Finally, you can organize a one-time action or a flash mob: a walk through the historic center with wheelchair users. Alas, they often see the street only from the window of their apartment.
Step 3
Get a pet - Of course, you shouldn't bring a kitten or a rabbit into your home just to subdue selfishness. But if the conditions allow, if you've already thought about it, try it. The pet will become a member of your family. He absolutely depends on you: it is impossible to ignore it, it is impossible to continue living only for yourself. You will have to feed, walk the animal at a certain time. This will discipline you and make you think of another being who loves and waits for you.
Step 4
Become a Team Member: It doesn't matter how you do it, whether you start playing trumpet in a quartet or go camping with your office staff. The sense of community and responsibility of everyone for a common cause helps to rationally use their own resources, and one's own "I", working together, often has to be pacified in order to better perform the task. Try to feel how from working together on a project, you get a sense of acceptance for consideration of any decision, even if it contradicts your own attitude.
