Would you agree that every sin imaginable is a result of man trying to be his own god and worshipping himself? Its all about man's pleasures, desires, ambitions, success, wants, needs, etc
In other words man has placed himself on the throne of his own life.
(I am not asking if you believe in God, I am asking if you agree that everything man wants in this world from the poorest to the richest is to please himself at the cost of anyone and/or everyone?)

To phrase it differently once again, man sins because first of all he loves himself above anything or anyone else, which is in itself the greatest sin. So if man rejects God or blasphemes the Holy Spirit or commits adultry or murder or any other sin its because he loves himself and worships himself

No.
If a man's pleasure, desire, ambitions, success, wants, and need was based on selflessness, then would that be considered selfish?
I agree that in some instances mankind is very egotistical. Just look at god, which mankind created. Mankind must have been quite self centered to think that the human race is an achievement and it's only explanation can be that it was created from an all powerful being that looks like man.
But in other instances, more so than people think, there is good in the world. And many people don't do good because of reward of Heaven. I think people do good because it's the right thing. And thus, man's wants can include thing that are not sins.

Sin could be more easily decribed as the action that causes the most damage and the least good to all the dynamics.
The eight dynamics are: self, family, groups, mankind, flora and fuana, physical universe, spirits and infinity or God.
Two booklets can give you information on this Integrity and Honesty and The Eight Dynamics.

I think that man should be confident about himself/herself, but not put themselves so high up that they look down onto others and are unwilling to help them. That is a sin to me.

The unpardonable sin is rejecting Christ. How can forgiveness be applied to one who rejects the Forgiver?
