self-interest

Wanting what is best for everyone, including oneself, not, as commonly believed, what is best only for oneself.

He knew it was in his self-interest to help as many people as possible thrive and prosper, in comfort and safety, that only then could he ultimately thrive and prosper.

Interesting

What you say when you want to accuse a chess player for cheating but you're too much of a coward to say so directly.

Vladimir Kramnik: "Some small new piece of statistics, recently noticed, a player had scored 45,5 out of 46 CONSECUTIVE 3 minutes blitz games against approximately 2950 in average rating opposition (few different players) which is equivalent to 3600+ performance in those 46 Consecutive games. I believe everyone would find this interesting"

Interested, but not attending

You get invited to that basic Facebook event that Derrick from down the hall sent out. You feel obligated to feign interest in attending the event to impress Derrick's hot friend, but you would rather stay in and watch Netflix. This is a classic Interested, but not attending situation.

Did you get the invite to ATO's Pirate Party next Friday?
Ugh, I'm actually interested, but not attending.
