Sometimes a relationship has to be all about one of you, it is two people leaning on each other. The thing is, I can see how it might be hard to find someone to lean on if you are not stable enough yourself for someone else to do the same.

If anything, I'd say this is the opposite of selfish. Rather than going into a relationship just to satisfy your needs without being able to satisfy the other's, you get to take care of yourself a little.

I'm not a psychologist though, and I don't know how this affects someone long term.
