selflessness is WAY overrated

I always say that December is the month that everyone should be selfless all month long .. as kind of a challenge. I try to get others on board, but yeah.. that's not working at all this year. Damn it !!!
I cant be upset though.. I cant stress over things I cant control!!!!!!!!!
And I need to let go of expectations... because that is how I get my feelings hurt , and get let down ,, EVERYDAY.
It has always been about starting out small and growing to larger steps that make people .. well better people. If they get in a  habit of doing for others first etc... then just maybe they feel better and become better people and stay selfless all year long.
I have kind of given up already and its only 17th of December today. I am just well past exhausted and selfless outted I suppose..
I cant think of anyone more selfless than I .
When one gives up their home, their life, everything they do and know,, to move to another state and completely start over.. not counting all the extra variables in that scenario.... that is selfless. To sacrifice their happiness for their special others wishes and joys.
When one gives up a relationship with their oldest beautiful child.. so her husband will be happy and content.. that is selfless.. and deeply heartbreaking .
When ones gives up their last freedom.. the joy of driving for their other child.. when u give up your vehicle.. so your child has a car to drive.. even though its not appreciated or respected.. that is selflessness.
When ones gives up personal items that are cherished just so others will have things they need.. like clothes on their backs, shoes on their feet, and coats.. so they will stay warm in the very cold winter season.. that is selfless.
When one will give others a roof over their head.. so they have shelter.. When one gives the last penny in her wallet.. so that someone can go get a doughnut to eat.. that is selflessness !!!!
When one is the only one to always reach out and try to make sure all are taken care of first , everyone is happy,,, etc.. that is being selfless !!!
Maybe I am an idiot.. I don't know for sure.. but either way I think I am giving up on trying to show others what selflessness is !
(sad indeed)
