From my point of view: Self-interest, in the broader sense, includes the desire to remove the felt uneasiness that comes with feeling sympathy. Meaning that someone who does not feel sympathy will have no incentive to help anyone else (and will therefore never do it), unless they expect a reward in return (in the form of goods, increased reputation or status, removal of an expected punishment etc.). On the other hand, someone who does feel sympathy will also not help anyone else unless they expect to receive a reward. However, this reward can come in the same forms as with someone who does not feel sympathy *as well as* in the form of relief from the uneasiness felt from being aware that someone needs help.
