"Your self centered, you enter the room and all eyes are on you but not for the right reasons"

I'd say it probably means that you assume everyone's looking at you because they like you, but in reality they just think you're a jackass.

The opposite of altruistic.

Ever see Spider Man 3? Remember Peter's pimp strut, everyone was looking at him like he was a douche? People were looking at him, just not in the way he wanted.

and altruism is giving something without expectation of something in return.

Primarily - of overriding importance - that the writer or copyist does not respect the difference between your and you're, the use of the period and the construction of basic sentences in English.
