Egoists annoy the fuck out of me because they usually mix psychological egoism in with their ethical egoism which is basically them conflating any amount of self interested motive with being selfish. Stirner is no exception to this trend.

nice reply, user. i usually like to believe in psychological egoism more than any other kind because i dont think that altruism is even remotely existent in humanity.

Let's ignore the concept of altruism and consider whether it makes sense to colloquially call every decision selfish.
Let's say it's winter and you see a gaunt homeless man in filthy tattered clothes shivering in the cold, wrapped and laying alone in newspapers. You imagine yourself in his situation and you feel strong pangs of empathy, and if you don't do anything to help him you know you'll feel guilty about it later. So you help him start a bonfire and later come back around and offer him a spare blanket.
Now, a psychological egoist would focus in on the fact that you acted because you anticipated guilt if you didn't help the homeless. Isn't that just considering what's good for you at the end of the day? Aren't you just thinking about yourself?
But we don't colloquially call that being selfish because that feeling of guilt would have been inspired by knowing you could have done something to elevate someone else's suffering. I.e. you are taking others into consideration of your action.
Everyone has preferences and they act to gain outcomes they maximally prefer. That fact is what psych egoists point to us making us all selfish. But colloquially what we mean by being selfish is your system of preferences for actions is static with respect to the suffering of others. I.e. if f(X I Y) gives a numeric value for how much you prefer doing action X given your knowledge Y of the consequences, someone is selfish if f(X I Y1) = f(X I Y2) where Y2 means knowing people will suffer a lot more than if your knowledge were just Y1.
Basically this confusion of how people are actually using words is what annoys me about psych egoists. Their philosophy is based on semantic confusion.

It's a retarded meme lad, if you go around doing whatever you want you get your ass kicked

alleviate someone else's suffering*
