This is a similar situation my friend was in. Many people were calling him selfish because he wanted to improve himself. He blew off many invitations to gatherings and did things that many would consider selfish. I agree, though, that when somebody calls somebody else selfish, it is for their own selfish reason -- You're not satisfying their needs. Well, being the personal developer you are, you'll be able to find out what it is exactly they want and gauge what you have to do to remedy the situation.
what was it that you did anyways?
