Selfless or Selfish?

I don't know when I became this person I am now.

I use to think I’m super selfish but these days I find myself doing things because other people wants me to do or because other people needs my help and not because of what I want.

Oh, you need a publicity director? Sure I will run for that even though I really rather be a group leader.

You need someone to talk to through the night till 5am? 
No problem, I’m sure I can handle the whole day of work tomorrow with less than 4 hours of sleep.

Worried that I was angry with you because I ignored your texts? 
Okay I will just tell you that I was asleep and forgot to reply even though I was indeed a little peeved at you.

Want to take off on that day and can’t find people to replace you at work? 
Don’t worry, I will take your place, I should be able to survive despite the three midterms I have the next two days.

Am I being selfless or selfish? 

If you ask me I would say I'm really selfish, I'm doing all this probably because I want to fill up my time so I won't have time to think too much. Probably because I want people to like me and approve of me. Might be because I don't want people to dislike me.

But I know if I ask you, you will say I'm stupid.
