Well the truth is, love is selfish. At least most of the time it is.
You'll see the true love where one person will let the other go even though they love them just so that they will be happy. That's not being selfish, obviously. Being selfish would be not caring about how they feel about the situation or relationship.

So the way to stop being selfish is to stop pushing what you want. Think of his wants. That's the hardest part about the situation. You want to see him but he doesn't want to see you. So by ignoring what he tells you and still going after him, it's a selfish thing.

That's why I'm suggesting the no contact thing for awhile. Pretty much the best thing for this relationship is space right now. If you back off for a bit, you'll be respecting his wishes and not being selfish.
Eventually, I'd talk to him in person and then see how it goes from there.
