My brain filters it out automatically. Altruism is not even on my mind AT ALL, until I sorted out my own problems and feel the life of me and my family is reasonably secure, happy, safe, and going up and up. I don't feel I have any surplus for altruism.
I guess in practice I do altruistic things all the time. People ask me for help, I don't say no. I just don't seek out opportunities to.
