Selfishness is usually not evil but sometimes can be somewhat unethical. The world is an unfair and dangerous place for the vast majority of we powerless peons, one needs to protect oneself from. The wise among us that have long since risen to the top of Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs to Self Actualization as I modestly have, seek purposeful, meaningful, worthwhile, relevant, choices and paths in our lives that will grate against being generous especially when one is pragmatically, purposely isolated.
For those adults like this physically small person that has been little ever helped by other people, while often being ignored, envied, threatened, and career bullied, being self reliant and independent was crucial to my success. But that independence has also tended to make me ignore needs of others I don't personally know. So in that sense, yes am rather selfish.
As an adult, have never been evil. For example, never played Dungeons & Dragons though associated with many that did and am quite street savvy. Being in the military during a real war, stationed at times in immoral cesspools, was very educational as to where average others morals and ethics dwell and their dangers. Enough so, I barely survived, and for a time was on the road to Hell. I have always disliked and avoided lying, cheating, slander, manipulation, porn, emotional confrontations, war, politics, and much more. That does not tend to allow easy close friendships with less ideal others. For decades have sought Jesus's eternal life via my own religious path, that is somewhat a yolk on usual freedoms.
