I'm sorry to hear that you garner no sense on pleasure or self satisfaction from your seemingly altruistic activities. I'm really not into doing things that I don't want to do, and I don't want to do things that make me feel bad, or even indifferent.
I'm frightened of those who are ashamed to admit that they enjoy helping others or feel that somehow enjoying benevolent acts degrades those acts into not being 'true altruism.'
By that definition, only someone with mental or emotional issues could commit acts of altruism (without regard to their own happiness).
Please admit that it does make your life better by adding some value, be it pleasure, or purpose, or just a warm fuzzy feeling.
