How to not feel selfish for wanting love?

I know for some it may sound strange to say that but for me I have felt selfish when I long for something good. I know the root of the fear began growing up. I was made to feel I am bad, low and do not deserve good things. Had daily belittling, chaos and sometimes physical assault. So I just lately have been trying to ATTEMPT to believe I could deserve or want love too..although its HARD.
My mind will try to say I am being selfish to want something so good. Yet I see many many have and embrace love. It feels like extreme sadness inside thinking I am selfish to even want it. How can one not feel it is too good to want love?
(Romantic love I am referring to)
