It's not just you thinking this way. But, in order to put the polarity idea to work, even this that you say can have a spin.
For instance one's motivation to help themselves first may be juiced by thinking how wonderful it will be to help others (outflow) and to do that he/she has to work on being wealthy and healthy. Or it could be motivated by thinking how much more people will like them (inflow).
Just the goal of working on one's self is not enough to pin down the polarity. The goal to work on one's self can be motivated by either polarity.
However, I do agree someone who is not doing very well, can not help others too well.
