Its not selfish. Happiness comes from within.
Aristotle:
Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient
HH the Dalai Lama:
When we feel love and kindness toward others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace.
Anne Frank:
We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.
Allan K. Chalmers:
The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
Albert Schweitzer:
Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
Albert Camus:
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Edith Wharton:
If only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time.
Kin Hubbard:
It's pretty hard to tell what does bring happiness. Poverty an' wealth have both failed.
Martha Washington:
The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances.
Mohandas K. Gandhi:
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

I don't think it's selfish to want to be happy but it's unrealistic to depend on others to do it.

No, not as long as you're trying to make yourself happy. We all want to be happy.

If you fully intend to make others happy, then no.
But if you don't care much if you make them happy, then yes.
