I do think Haise's reasoning makes sense and is the most logic option, but I also understand Shuu's thoughts. Haise can't hope to do the same thing everytime he meets an old acquaintance.

Also Haise's "selfishness" is a theme going on in TG and it's not the classic selfishness you can spot in a character or in a person from miles away. It's a subtle kind of selfishness many people have and it's also pretty natural to have. The point is to show that even if you have the best intention like "to protect everyone" realizing it is really difficult and may lead you to make mistakes. If Kaneki hadn't gone to the Anteiku's raid many people would have avoided sad fates. Also even if you think to know what's best for a person and even if you are right about it, if you try to force your point of view on said person you may end up creating more problems rather than helping them.

That's said I think this is a recurring thing in TG and it's not only a Kaneki's attribute, but he being the main character surely has it.
