Me first; my family first; my city first; my state first; my country first; does it end? My group first; my religion first; my nationality first; my politics first; my decisions first; etc., etc., ad nauseam.
If any of these expressions sound selfish to you, it is only because they are selfish. Jesus’ teachings are just the opposite of “me first” language. When the people using this language reach Heaven Jesus will explain it to them before sending them to the back of the line. “The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.”

Read this a few days ago. I enjoyed reading it.
Selfishness is something a lot of people struggle with to varying degrees, myself included.
I think you made a typo in the tags. You wrote seafish instead of selfish.
Thanks, I fixed it. If you see others let me know.
