To me that is not satisfying, as it isn't satisfying to me to give myself what I want instead of what I need. A short term pleasure maybe, but not sustainable.

Giving people what they need is a much more challenging and interesting game to play.

Of course it's up to them to accept or reject that.

If you truly are altruistic, then how do you approach the people who don't want to be helped? What is your attitude toward them?
I don't believe so much in true altruism as it is often used. I notice that when I focus on both my and others' needs, it works better. So I do that.

Be curious to what they want and why. Do not accept everything they say at face value. Show them other possibilities.

Again, up to them to do with that what they want.
