Absolutely. People who are obsessed with being selfless can actually put people in danger or create dangerous scenarios by trying to be a hero. Just look at Hero Syndrome.

Interesting. But is that really being selfless if it serves an interest of theirs?

If you create a culture where the only virtue is selflessness, then you are inevitably going to have people who, consciously or unconsciously, create scenarios where they can be selfless.

Yes, when it's self-serving.
I.E. "Look at me, I'm so selfless. Recognize how caring I am. Helping people makes me feel good."
