Is it selfishness to expect people to appreciate what we've done?

I know there are people who are not good in saying thank you and there are also those who are quick to say those words, quicker than the blink of an eye. The point however is, is there something wrong in expecting people to appreciate or thank us?
What if they didn't appreciate?
Any idea?

i usually say thank you when someone helps me, regardless. nothing wrong in expecting it, cause if they don't your most likely not going to want to help them again. it does seem like they don't appreciate what you've done for them, but then again you may also be able to show appreciation in a different way. like if it was a really big favor you could have them over for tea/dinner.

If we do something for others we usually hope to get appreciated for the work. It lifts the moral and gives us confidence. There is nothing wrong in that. A simple 'Thanks' is a great appreciation for someone's hard work.Everybody likes others to acknowledge their work.
