Hey all, So I was in a lesson and a word was used that I looked up. The word means like...when you do an act, but only to benefit yourself. So, like if you helped someone out, but only because in doing so, it would make you look better. Get me? lol I'm not sure if what I'm saying makes sense. Its almost like doing something nice, but for the wrong reasons. I forget the word and really want to know what it is. Its been bugging me for ages and I've asked everyone I know but no one seems to know!!! Any ideas? xXx
