have never been a very helping person and when I think I will try to help somebody it turns out that they don't want what i think they need or am giving them, or they don't even seem to appreciate it at all, sometimes they even thank others, it just seems like a waste of time to try to help people, I am not a selfish person, I would really help if I thought it would do any good.

There are some times when I have actually helped somebody but not most of the time.

Maybe you're helping the wrong people. Some people are just ungrateful.
Try going to a nursing home & reading to the elderly. That would give you such a great feeling, and I'm sure they would be very grateful.

Maybe you need to take a look at how you are helping. There is helping and there is butting in, there is a difference. Sometimes we can go too far, it is a balance. You ask the person what they need. Listen carefully, then help them the way they want to be helped, not how you want to help them.
Life is about assisting others; encouraging, caring, being kind, volunteering our services, being aware of others needs around us (family and friends).
Maybe it would be helpful for you to volunteer in a controlled situation, that way, you are dealing with people or animals that have specific needs to be addressed. Believe me, you can do lots of good.

Don't help them and help yourself first instead.
