Let me tell you why you will never be happy.

You dismiss your own wants with 'that's selfish'.
You function in 'what is right?', not 'what do I want?'.
You wait for X because 'it's my duty' or 'I can't live without'.

Never mind your own needs, they say, think of the needs of... of whoever. Your health. Your parents. Your friends. The state. The poor. Of the army, of the king, of God! The list goes on and on. How many catastrophes were launched with the words "think of yourself"?

It is this great inversion, this ancient lie, which has chained humanity to an endless cycle of guilt and failure.

This one seems to go against the other stuff you said...

Anyway this is a good advice for some but some people could become happier by thinking of others.

In the end I believe life can't be summed up in simple rule.

Convincing people they're just as miserable as you are isn't going to make your shitty attitude any more valid. Pedal your pseudo-intellectual self-pity elsewhere, anon.
