egoistical
Concerned only inward
Egoistical means excessively self-centered or concerned primarily with one's own interests.
The word is interchangeable with egotistical, though some distinguish between egoism (philosophical self-interest) and egotism (inflated self-importance).
In practice, both adjectives describe someone who puts themselves first: His egoistical behavior alienated everyone around him.
