Yes if you do it for yourself you rarely thank yourself for doing it. In a way that would be absurd, because giving thanks to someone means you are giving something to someone. But you can't really give anything to yourself because whatever you give you already have. So it is quite natural that we prefer to do things for others. It makes you feel great when others thank you for it.
