That's true to an extent, but you have to consider the responsibilities a person has when they make that choice. If I have young children, it absolutely is selfish to take my own life. I created them, and I have responsibilities to them that will go drastically unfulfilled.
It's one thing when a person kills themself due to crippling mental illness, and it's another when they do so fully informed of the consequences and they're in a reasonably cogent state of mind. Selflessness and responsibility are about performing your duties even if they make you unhappy. It's not entirely black and white, but well-informed suicide is often very selfish.
