Are you a comic book villain, moogie? 
You start off with a sensible argument then at the very end swerve off in a weird non-sequitor direction.
Leaving others alone because you want to be left alone yourself isn't selfishness. Want to know what WOULD be selfish? Getting in a relationship regardless so the other person could benefit you in some way, then denying them all their relationship needs. You are not advocating that.
Don't tout selfishness as a virtue. Down that path lies madness.
Late reply, buuuut~
This sounds like some sort of miscommunication error. I'm not
exactly sure from your post how you interpreted it, but just to clarify: I was saying that wanting to live according to one's own desires isn't a selfish choice. Don't let anyone tell you that you're selfish because you'd rather be alone, or selfish because you don't want kids, or selfish because you don't live how
they want you to live.
Relationships require compromise and dedication. I don't enjoy those things, so I don't put someone through it. Doing so would indeed be selfish! But I'm not a selfish person for not
wanting to compromise and dedicate myself to another person, or be in someone's company for the majority of my daily life. I like to be on my own- period. Being in a relationship, even a wonderful one with a great person (which I have certainly experienced!) is a fundamentally detrimental state to my happiness. It has nothing to do with "finding the right person".
Also, people make the same sort of remarks when you say "I don't want kids". I hear it so often that I ended up ranting about it unprovoked in that last post. xD I'm just so used to defending against it, pre-emptively. Sorry if that caused some additional confusion.
