If you define it that way then there's almost nothing in the world that would categorize as altruism. Helping kids in Africa? It's only to make yourself feel good. Helping that fallen granny get up? It's to make yourself look good in front of others. Etc. If you go that far, both egoism and altruism will have completely lost their meanings.

Of course we do things to make ourselves feel good. And since helping other people makes us feel good, why shouldn't we be honest about our motives? It's win-win.
