I don't think he's exactly selfish as there are reasons in his life that made him the way he is. He thoroughly believes in the hypocrisy of the adult world, which if you look at the people that surround him is completely justifiable (Stradlater, Ackley, Mr. Spencer, etc.). He simply wants to revert to childhood where hypocrisy was absent. By being the catcher in the rye, he wants to preserve the innocence of children, particularly Phoebe, whom he obviously adores. Holden doesn't want her to grow up to be like Stradlater and Ackley. However, as adulthood is inevitable, he is unrealistic.
