What is this, is it even curable?

Idk I guess I'm unable to love? Because I'm only in it for myself apparently. I want someone, one person wholly, who does not die, does not get permenently sick or damaged, does not cheat, never makes an offensive joke, doesn't leave, junk like that. Yes I know it's fucked up. I can't seem to think myself out of it. What am I doing wrong I ask myself, I don't know. I mean, I have a possible idea as to where it came from, otherwise I guess this issue is normal. But I maybe it's too late? And I can't go to a professional about it. And google doesn't help. I'm doomed lmao

@Phthalo

Are you asking... if selfishness is an illness ?
Gosh, yeah, maybe it is, but worry not, I am confident about 102% of the world population suffers from it. I don't thinki there's anything more plain and normal than thinking about one's self.
Altruistic and selfless people are incredibly rare. In fact, I doubt they even exist.

So if you're scared that in love you only think about yourself, worry not. It's actually how most people work.

(Also, I wouldn't say "wanting someone who doesn't leave and doesn't cheat" is selfish. I mean, it's normal. The contrary would have been more concerning)
